INSTALLATION
•
Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air
to blow into the area you want. Good installation
with special attention to the proper position of the
unit will lessen the chance that service will be
needed.
ITEMS IN INSTALLATION HARDWARE
You may not need all parts in the kit. Discard unused
parts.
HOW TO INSTALL
Identify the existing wall sleeve before installing
the unit from the listed below.
All wall sleeves used to mount the new air
conditioner must be in sound structural condition
and have a rear grille that securely attaches to
sleeve, or rear flange that serves as a stop for the
air conditioner.
Remove
the
old airconditioner from existing wall
sleeve.
Clean the interior of the existing sleeve.
(Do not disturb seals.)
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing the air conditioner. Use the
nails or screws through sleeve into wall, if
needed. Repaint sleeve if needed.
Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the
unit. If you plan to use your existing wall sleeve,
and it is not LGE, use procedure B or C below.
Install new unit into wall sleeve.
When installation is completed, the replacement unit
MUST have a rearward slope as shown. To
achieve 1/4" slope, remove the backing from the
8-1/2" shim strips and attach them as shown
below in Fig. 3. Place the higher portion of the shim to
the front of the rib on the base of the wall sleeve.

We strongly recommend the removal of the
old wall sleeve and the installation of a new
LGE Wall Sleeve.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve,
you have to redirect the louvers at the back of
the wall sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you
run the risk of poor performance or product
failure. This is not covered under the terms of
the LGE warranty.
