Through-the-Wami mnstamiation mnstructions--OptionaJ The case may be installed through-the-wall in both existing and new construction. Read completely, then follow step-by-step. NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for mounting the air conditioner throughthe-wall. [] IMPORTANT Through-the-wall installation is not appropriate if any of the side or top louvers in the case will be obstructed by the wall. All side and top louvers in the case must project on the outdoor side of the wall. The room side of the case must project into the room far enough to maximize the balance of the unit. The case must be installed level from sideto-side and with a slight tilt from front to rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside. Lintel angle is required to support bricks or blocks above opening. Flashing is required and should extend the length of the opening to ensure no inside cavity leakage occurs. [] Remove the air conditioner from the case. For specific instruction, refer to the Window Installation Instructions. [] Make certain that a wall receptacle is available close to the hole location or make arrangements to install a receptacle. i, [] IMPORTANT (cont.) [] Secure with 14 wood screws anchored at least an inch into the wall support structure. NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for proper installation. If the frame is oversized, use shims to prevent case distortion. [] FINISH THE WALL OPENING [] Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of the case to prevent moisture from getting through to the interior wall. Use of flashing (drip rail) will further prevent water from dripping inside the wall and down the outside of the building. e __ 1"I Trim molding OUTSIDE Air louvers -- (top and / sides must project on the outdoor side of the wall) Wood filler and caulking (above and below the flashing) Flashing (Drip rail) INSIDE Bottom rail / Bottom rail [] Place the case in the wall opening and place wood support strips between the case bottom and the flashing on both sides of the bottom rail.
