SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efcient
location for the replace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper
clearances (see Figures 6 and 7).
2. Consider a location where replace will
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or
roof rafters will make installation easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit,
page 10).

FRAMING
1. Frame opening for replace using dimen-
sions shown in Figures 6 and 7.
2. If replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
ooring, replace must be installed upon
a metal or wood panel extending full width
and depth of replace.
3. Set replace directly in front of this open-
ing and slide unit back until nailing anges
touch side framing.
4. Check level of the replace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.
