SLEEVE LOCATION
Sleeve must be located on an outside wall for proper
operation. As a general rule, the air conditioner should
be centrally located in an outside wall to ensure proper
distribution of conditioned air. It should be located in
a portion of the wall where there is no electrical wiring
or plumbing, and where there are no obstructions
immediately inside or outside.
