General Notes
•
Carefully handle the wall sleeve.
•
The cardboard stiffener inside the wall sleeve (if present) and the rear protective panel must
remain in place until ready to install the chassis to ensure case rigidity.
•
If using a sub-base, it may be better to assemble the sub-base to the wall sleeve before
securing it to the wall.

plumbing, or obstructions immediately inside or outside.
