STEP 4
Installing new baffle
1. Remove and keep the four screws holding the top
outlet grill of duct work
2. Remove outlet grill and black baffle plate.
3. Install new damper under grille on top of lateral
duct adapter for 70% air discharge into primary
room (room which the unit is installed) and 30%
discharge into secondary (adjacent) room. By not
installing the new damper, air distribution will be
80% Primary room and 20% secondary room. To
install the new damper, place damper centered in
the exist grille such that the flange on damper lays
inside the grille flange. Place grille over the hole
in the duct adapter, ensuring the damper does not
fall out of place and secure with the four screws
removed in step 1.
7. Remove the air filters from room cabinet front.
