11
Installing the Chassis into the Cabinet
1. Team lift (two people) the air conditioner chassis and
carefully slide it into the cabinet. Let the front of the air
conditioner hang out approximately 6”.
2. CAUTION: DO NOT PUSH ON THE CONTROLS OR
FINNED COILS.
3. Be sure the chassis is firmly seated in the back of the
cabinet.
4. Insert all screws removed during window installation
and reattach the front face plate, front panel, and the
air filter. Use the REMOVE CHASSIS instructions and
figures 1-6 for reference.
THRU-THE-WALL INSTALLATION
NOTE
: Consult local building codes prior to installation
and/or a qualified carpenter.
Select the Wall Location
This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can
be installed through an outside wall as specified below:
MAX WALL THICKNESS
: 8 1/4”
IMPORTANT : The side louvers must never be blocked.
NOTE : All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Installation are
provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood
screws (10-1” long minimum). Select a wall surface that:
1. Does not support major structural loads such as the
frame construction at ends of windows, and under
truss-bearing points, etc.
2. Does not have plumbing or wiring inside.
3. Is near existing electrical outlets, or where another out-
let can or will be installed.
4. Does not have objects blocking the air vents which
limits cooling.
5. Allows unblocked airflow from the rear and sides of the
air conditioner.
Prepare the Wall
1. Prepare the wall in frame construction (including brick
and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room, find
the wall stud that is nearest the center of the installa-
tion area.
2. Cut a hole on each side of the center stud.
3. Measure between the inside edges of every other stud
as shown below.
