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.
1. 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.
A.
Remove the air conditioner from the case.
For specific instruction, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.
B.
Make certain that a wall receptacle is available
close to the hole location or make arrangements
to install a receptacle.
C.
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.
2. FINISH THE WALL OPENING
A.
Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of the
case to prevent moisture from getting through

Place the air conditioner into the case.
