Option 1—Wood, metal or plastic molding

When using wood, metal or plastic molding, the wood frame

should line up with the inside wall as shown.

Option 2—Plastered wall with no molding

If the plastered wall is to be flush with the cabinet and no molding

is used, the wood frame must be set ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) into the inside

wall.

Install Wood Frame

1. Construct the wood frame. See “Location Requirements” for

dimensions.

2. Measure the outside width and height of the frame to

determine the wall opening dimensions.

3. Cut the opening through the wall. Remove and save the

insulation.

NOTES:

■ Dimension for depth depends on the wall thickness and

the type of molding.

■ Do not block the louvers in the air conditioner cabinet.

■ Use 1" (2.5 cm) or thicker lumber for the wood frame.

4. Apply the wood preservative to the outside exposed surface.

5. Insert the frame in the wall opening. Square and level the

frame.

6. Attach the frame securely to the wall.

Install Cabinet into Wood Frame

1. Insert the cabinet into the framed wall opening.

2. Use a level to check that the cabinet is level side to side.

3. Check that the air conditioner cabinet is tilted to the outside

so that water will run to the outside.

Complete Through-the-Wall Installation

1. Reuse the insulation to seal the opening between the cabinet

and the frame.

2. Use the existing holes and 6 - #10 x 1" wood screws (not

provided) to attach the cabinet to the frame.

NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws or the cabinet will

distort and provide a poor air seal between the cabinet and

the air conditioner.

3. Caulk all outside wall openings around the cabinet.
