For larger sleeves, an adaptor trim kit (EA120T) is available.
IMPORTANT
All wall sleeves used to mount the new air conditioner must be in sound structural condition and have a rear
grille that securely attached to the sleeve, or rear flange that serves as a stop for the air conditioner.
For new or replacement installations, a Frigidaire Sleeve Kit (EA108T) is recommended.
NOTE:
When installation is complete, replacement unit must have rearward slope as shown in Fig 1.

• Remove old air conditioner from wall sleeve and prepare wall sleeve as follows:
1. Clean interior (do not disturb seals)
2. Check to see that sleeve is securely fastened in wall. Add additional screws or nails as required.
3. Retouch wall sleeve painted surface if needed.
4. If a ground wire or mounting hole does not exist, drill a pilot hole for a grounding screw through the left hand
side of the sleeve. Drill in a clear area about 3 inches back from the front edge a 3/16” pilot hole for the ground
screw. Pull the loose end of the ground wire out of the front of the sleeve and bend it away from the opening.
This will be attached to the air conditioner once installed.
