Cutting the Hole for the WhisperKOOL Unit
Tools Needed
Sizing the Unit to the Room
• Using a level and a pencil, mark a horizontal line on
the wall between the two studs, approximately 1.25
inches (or as close as possible if more than 1.25”)
from the ceiling.
• Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure 16 inches
down (22.75” for the 6000 and 8000 models), and
mark another horizontal line parallel to the first
one.
Locate the desired installation location. Using a stud finder, locate two adjacent studs in the walls, and mark them
with vertical lines.
• Using a saw, cut along the uppermost horizontal line
until your saw reaches the stud. Turn the saw around,
inserting it into the cut you have just made, and cut
toward the opposite stud so that you have a clean
horizontal cut between the two studs. Be careful not
to cut into the studs themselves. Now make the
second horizontal cut from stud to stud on the line 16
inches below the first cut (22.75” for the 6000 and
8000 models).
