Condensate Drain
A condensate drain is provided to divert excess water when
air conditioner is installed over a doorway or sidewalk.
1. Pry cap plug from the condensate drain (located on
underside of bottom pan). Use a 3/8" pipe tap and fully
thread the condensate drain (Fig. S).
2. Screw a 3/8" pipe fitting into the condensate drain. The
fitting should be protruding approximately 1/2" above
the bottom pan when fully threaded into the conden-
sate drain (Fig. T).
3. If an open drain source is used to dispose of conden-
sate, plastic or rubber tubing may be run directly from
the pipe fitting to the open drain source. If closed drain
source (internal structural plumbing) is used, a "P" trap
must be between the 3/8" pipe fitting and the closed
drain source (Fig. U).
Do not remove the cap plug, unless the condensate drain
is used.

This air conditioner is designed as a slide-out type chassis,
making it possible to install it through-the-wall in both exist-
ing and new construction. We recommend that this type of
installation be performed with professional assistance.
IMPORTANT: This appliance must be installed according to
all applicable electrical and building codes and ordinances.
It is recommended that you have help to install your unit
and that you use proper lifting technique to avoid per-
sonal injury.
It is important that you inspect the condition of the wall
where the air conditioner will be installed. Be sure the wall
can support the weight of the unit.
All cabinet louvers MUST BE on the outdoor side of the
wall. DO NOT BLOCK SIDE LOUVERS.
The cabinet must be installed level from side-to-side and
with a downward tilt from inside to outside.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD: Make certain a
proper electrically sized wall receptacle is available close to
the unit. If not, make arrangements to install one.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts
and greater than 7.5 amps it must have its own fuse or cir-
cuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be oper-
ated on that fuse or circuit breaker.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 230 volts it
must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device
or unit should be operated on that fuse or circuit breaker.
1. First remove the Decorative front panel and chassis
from the cabinet. Remove top and side retainer bars
from the cabinet (see page 2).
2. Determine the size of the opening for a wood frame by
adding 1/8" to the width and height of the cabinet.
Measure height from top of cabinet to bottom of bar.
Add this measurement to the thickness of wood used to
build the frame. This will determine the size of wall
opening needed. Minimum 1" thick lumber is recom-
mended when building the frame. When determining
finish frame thickness, be sure not to cover side louvers
on the cabinet.
3. Install the finished frame in the wall opening square
and level, nail or screw it securely to the wall and place
the cabinet into the framed wall opening.
4. Make sure cabinet projects into the roomside of the
wall 1 1/4" at the top and 1 1/2" at the bottom to
ensure proper tilt and access to the anti-theft screw,
then fasten cabinet to the frame by drilling twelve (12)
1" wood screws (not supplied) through the cabinet and
into the frame (Fig V & W).
If installation is made in a building with brick veneer
construction, a steel angle lintel must be used to sup-
port the bricks above the cabinet (Fig XL
5. After cabinet is installed caulk all openings, inside and
outside between finish frame and cabinet to prevent
moisture from getting to the interior of the wall. Use of
flashing (driprail) will further prevent water from drip-
ping inside the wall.
6. Install chassis into cabinet (see page 5).
