Through-the-Wall
Installation InstructionsmOptional
The case may be installed
through-the-wall
in both existing
and new construction.
Read completely,
then
follow
step-by-step.
NOTE: Obtain
all materials
locally for
mounting
the air conditioner
through-
the-wall.
[] IMPORTANT
(cont.)
[]
Secure with
14 wood screws anchored
at
least an inch into the wall support
structure.
NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary,
for
proper installation.
If the frame
is oversized,
use shims
to prevent
case distortion.
[] IMPORTANT
Through-the-wall
installation
is not
appropriate
if any of the side or top louvers
in the case will be obstructed
by the wall.
All side and top louvers in the case must
project
on the outdoor side of the wall.
The room side of the case must project
into the room far enough to maximize
the
balance of the unit.
The case must be installed
level from side-
to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble
will be the correct case slant to the outside.
Lintel angle is required to support
bricks or
blocks above opening.
Flashing is required and should extend the
length of the opening to ensure no inside
cavity leakage occurs.
[]
Remove the air conditioner
from the case.
For specific
instruction,
refer to the Window
Installation
Instructions.
[]
Make certain that a wall receptacle
is
available
close to the hole location
or make
arrangements
to install a receptacle.

Place the case in the wall opening
and
place wood
support
strips
between
the case
bottom
and the flashing
on both sides of the
bottom
rail. They should
be the same height
as the bottom
rail and the same length
as
the wall opening.
[]
FINISH THE WALL OPENING
[]
Caulk all four sides on the outdoor
side of
the case to prevent
moisture
from getting
through
to the interior
wall. Use of flashing
(drip rail) will further
prevent water from
dripping
inside the wall and down
the
outside
of the building.
Air louvers
(top and
_
sides must
project on the
outdoor
side
of the wall)
