3.2 INSTALLATION
• Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air to
blow into the area you want. Good installation with
special attention to the proper position of the unit will
lessen the chance that service will be needed.
ITEMS IN INSTALLATION HARDWARE
You may not need all parts in the kit. Discard unused
parts
HOW TO INSTALL
Before installing the unit, identify the existing wall sleeve
from the list below.
NOTE: All wall sleeves used to mount the new Air
Conditioner must be in sound structural condition and
have a compatible rear grille that securely attaches to
sleeve, or rear flange that serves as a stop for the Air
Conditioner.
Remove old air conditioner from existing wall
sleeve.
Clean the interior of an existing sleeve.
(Do not disturb existing seals or gaskets.)
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing the air conditioner. Use the nails
or screws through the sides of the sleeve into wall,
if needed. Repaint sleeve if needed.
Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the unit.
If you plan to use your existing wall sleeve, and it
is not the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve, use procedure
B or C below.
Install new unit into wall sleeve.
CAUTION: When installation is completed,
replacement unit MUST have a rearward slope as
shown.

FIG. 20
We strongly recommend the removal of the
old wall sleeve and the installation of a new
FRIEDRICH USC 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
FRIEDRICH warranty.
