4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimen-
    sions of your model listed above. (Remember to 
    measure twice). Frame depth should be the
    same as wall  thickness. Fill in the space from
    the opening to the studs with wood spacers,
   as shown.
5. Nail frame to spacers to spacers with front 
    flush with drywall.

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)

B.Thru-The-Wall Installation

1

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

 Side louvers must never be blocked.

 All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Install-

ation 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.

IMPORTANT:
NOTE:

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to 
installation or a qualified carpenter.

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.

2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.
3. is near existing electrical outlets or where 
    another outlet can be installed.
4. is not blocked to the area to be cooled.
5. allows unblocked airflow from rear sides and
    end(outside) of installed air conditioner.
