INSTALLATION
CAUTION
We strongly recommend the removal of the
old wall sleeve and the installation of a new
Kenmore folding Wall Sleeve.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve,
you have to redirect the louvers at the back of the
wall sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run
the risk of poor performance or product failure.
This is not covered under the terms of the
Kenmore warranty.
• Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air to
blow into the area you want. Good installation with
special attention to the proper position of the unit will
lessen the chance that service will be needed.
