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 through-the-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 side-to-
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.

further prevent water from dripping inside the
wall and down the outside of the building.

For specific instruction, refer to the Window
