Option 2—Plastered wall with no molding

If the plastered wall is to be flush with the cabinet and no molding
is used, the wood frame must be set

¹⁄₂" (13 mm) into the inside

wall.

1. Construct wood frame. See “Location Requirements” for

dimensions.

2. Measure outside width and height of frame to determine wall

opening dimensions.

3. Cut opening through the wall. Remove and save insulation.

NOTES:

Dimension for depth depends on wall thickness and type
of molding.

Do not block louvers in air conditioner cabinet.

Use 1" (2.5 cm) or thicker lumber for wood frame.

4. Apply wood preservative to the outside exposed surface.

5. Insert the frame in the wall opening. Square and level frame.

6. Attach frame securely to the wall.

Position the Air Conditioner Cabinet

Handle air conditioner gently.

Be sure your air conditioner cabinet does not fall out of the
opening during installation or removal.

The location where the power cord exits the air conditioner
should be no more than 4 ft (122 cm) from a grounded 3
prong outlet.

Do not block the louvers on the front panel.

Do not block the louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.

Window installation (on some models)

1. Center empty cabinet in window. Check that lower rail of air

conditioner cabinet is behind and against back side of
windowsill. Maintain a firm hold on the air conditioner
cabinet. Lower window sash to hold cabinet in place.

2. Measure the distance between the right-hand side of the

cabinet and the inside of the window channel.

3. Repeat for the left side. Adjust the cabinet until the distance

on each side is the same.

4. Check that air conditioner cabinet is tilted to the outside so

that water will run to the outside.

5. Pull left-hand curtain out until it fits into window channel. Use

a

³⁄₃₂" drill bit to drill a starter hole through the hole in the

curtain housing and into the lower window sash.
