Select Wall Location
The air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be installed through an outside wall as specified below: Max. Wall thickness: 12 or 10
IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked. NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Install-
tion are provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood screws(#10-1 long minimum). Select a wall surface that:
1. does not support major structural loads such as the frame construction at ends of windows, and under truss-bearing points, etc.
NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation, or a qualified carpenter.
2
Prepare Wall
1. Prepare wall in frame construction (including brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room, find wall stud nearest the center of area where air conditioner will be installed (by sounding wall, or by magnetically finding nails).
2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of center stud.
3. Measure between inside edges of every other stud as shown in Fig.1.
Fig.1
3-3/8" MIN (8.6 cm)
Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following dimensions depending on your model. See Fig.1 and Fig.2. WIDTH X = inside model width plus twice the thickness of framing material used. HEIGHT Y =inside model height plus twice the thickness of framing material used.
Inside Frame Height: 18-7/8"(47.9cm) or18" (45.7cm) Inside Frame Width: 26-3/4"(67.9cm) or 23-7/8"(60.6cm)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6. Install chassis into cabinet by following all steps in Step 8 of Window Mounting.
OPTIONAL: Caulking and installation of trim on interior wall may be done. You can buy wood from your local number or hardware supply. On the outside, caulk openings around top and sides of cabinet, and all sides of wood sleeve to the opening.
NOTE: See Step 5, Item 3 of Window Mounting Instructions for bottom rail seal location.
1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the frame construction (refer to Step 2 of Thru-the-wall Installation for a wall thickness greater than 8-1/2 ).
2. Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails, or the right masonry anchor screws. (Another way to do this is to build an in-between frame of 2x4 s as shown in the Step 2 Prepare Wall illustrations-but make it double framed on either side, and install between masonry wall opening and cabinet. Frame must be securely anchored to masonry wall opening). This way gives very good louver clearance on either side of cabinet.
3. Install a lintel to support masonry wall above cabinet. Existing holes in cabinet can be used and/ or additional holes can be drilled to fasten cabinet at various positions. Be sure that side louver clearance is in accordance with Step 1 above.
4. Install exterior cabinet support brackets as shown in Step 2 of Thru-the-wall installation. Caulk or flash if needed, to provide a wether­ tight seal around top and sides of cabinet.
5. To complete installation, apply wood trim molding around room side projection of cabinet.
