LG LT1230HR Owners Manual - Page 12

Installation INSTALLATION 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. • 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.
