unqualified individuals can result in costly damage to
home.

General Instructions
All Soleus Air brand Compact Room Air Conditioners
feature a slide-out chassis. Chassis and front cover
must be removed from outer case for installation.
In order to reinstall the chassis and reattach the air
conditioner front cover, the installed outer case must
be square and level from side to side. Use wood
shims between sides of case and finished opening–
especially where case is secured to opening–to
prevent warping or distorting. Check installed case for
distortion using carpenter’s square.
A finished opening 26

- inches wide x 17-inches
high is recommended. The lower left inside corner of
opening must be within 5 feet of an appropriate
electrical outlet (see Use and Care manual for
electrical requirements.)
When wall thickness exceeds 9 -inches, opening
must be modified to allow air to enter side louvers on
case (see special instructions on back ). Do not
install air conditioner in walls thicker than 11
2/5
-
inches.

with mortar or concrete nails driven through holes in
