1. 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,
2. Remove old air conditioner from existing wall sleeve.
3. Clean the interior of an existing sleeve. (Do not disturb seals.)
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Install new unit into wall sleeve.
When installation is completed, replacement unit MUST have a rearward slope as shown. To achieve 1/4" slope, remove the backing from the 11-13/16" shim strips and attach them as shown below in Fig. 3. Place the higher portion of shim to the front of the rib on base of wall sleeve.

How to Install
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.
