Arctic King 817035, Operator'S Manual

Page: 23 / 38

Maximum wall thickness: 12" or 10"
1. Prepare the wall in frame construction (including
brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside the
room, find the wall stud closest to the centre of the
area where the air conditioner will be installed (by
sounding the wall, or by magnetically finding nails).
2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of the center
stud.
3. Measure between the inside edges of every other
stud as shown in Fig. 1.
4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions
of your model listed above (measure twice). Frame
depth should be the same as wall thickness. Fill in
the space from the opening to the studs with wood
spacers, as shown.
5. Nail the frame to the spacers with the front flush
with the drywall.
