B. Thru-The-Wall Installation

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation, or a qualified carpenter.

Select Wall Location

The air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be installed through an outside wall as specified below:

Max. Wall thickness: 1 Z’ or 1 O’

IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked .

NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall installation are provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood screws(#10-1″ long minimum). Select a wall surface that:

1. does not support major structural loads such as the frame construction at ends of windows, and under truss-bearing points , etc.
2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.
3. is near existing electrical outlets, or where another outlet can be installed .
4. faces , and is not blocked to the area to be cooled .
5. allows unblocked airflow from rear sides and end(outside) of installed air conditioner.

Prepare Wall

1. Prepare wall in frame construction (including brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room , find wall stud nearest the center of area where air conditioner will be installed (by sounding wall , or by magnetically finding nails).
2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of center stud.
3. Measure between inside edges of every other stud as shown in Fig.1.

Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following dimensions depending on your model. See Fig .1 and Fig .2.
WIDTH ” X “= inside model width plus twice the thickness of framing material used.
HEIGHT”Y’ =inside model height plus twice the thickness of framing material used.
Inside Frame Height: 18-7/8″(47.9cm) or18” (45.7cm)
Inside Frame Width: 26-3/4″(67.9cm) or 23-7/8″(60.6cm)

4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions of your model listed above. (Measure twice remember). Frame depth should be the same as wall thickness . Fill in the space from the opening to the studs with wood spacers , as shown .
5. Nail frame to spacers to spacers with front flush with drywall.

NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2″ or more, add aluminum flashing over bottom of frame opening to assure no water can enter area between inner and outer wall.

Prepare and Install Cabinet

1. Slide chassis from cabinet. Refer back to Step one of Window Mounting.
2. Place cabinet into opening with bottom rail resting firmly on bottom board of wooden frame.
3. Position cabinet to achieve proper slope for water removal.(See Fig .5 below.)
4. Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two large wood screws 1″(2 .5cm) long using the two holes in the bottom of the channel resting on frame. (See Fig .6 ).
   NOTE : Check that air conditioner is tilted back about 11/4″ to 15/8″(tilted about 3°to 4°downward to the outside). After proper installation, condensate should not drain from the overflow drain hole during normal use, correct the slope otherwise (Fig.14 ).

Refer to Step 5 of Window Mounting for assembly of support brackets. A wooden strip nailed to the outside wall should be used in conjunction with sill support angle brackets.

5. Screw or nail cabinet wooden frame using shims if frame is oversized, to eliminate distortion. See Fig .8.Remember to maintain proper slop as described in Step 3.
6. Install chassis into cabinet by following all steps in Step 8 of Window Mounting.

OPTIONAL: Caulking and installation of trim on interior wall may be done. You can buy wood from your local number or hardware supply. On the outside, caulk openings around top and sides of cabinet, and all sides of wood sleeve to the opening .

NOTE: See Step 5, Item 3 of Window Mounting Instructions for bottom rail seal location .

C. Masonry Construction

1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the frame construction (refer to Step of Thru-the-wall Installation for a wall thickness greater than 8-1/2″ ).
2. Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails, or the right masonry anchor screws. (Another way to do this is to build an in -between frame  of 2×4 s as shown in the Step 2 Prepare Wall illustrations-but make it double framed on either side, and install between masonry wall opening and cabinet. Frame must be securely anchored to masonry wall opening). This way gives very good louver clearance on either side of cabinet.
3. Install a lintel to support masonry wall above cabinet. Existing holes in cabinet can be used and/ or additional holes can be drilled to fasten cabinet at various positions. Be sure that side louver clearance is in accordance with Step 1 above.
4. Install exterior cabinet support brackets as shown in Step 2 of Thru-the-wall installation . Caulk or flash if needed , to provide a weathertight seal around top and sides of cabinet.
5. To complete installation, apply wood trim molding around room side projection of cabinet.

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

Air Filter Cleaning

• Remove the filter by sliding out from the right-hand side.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Note: Never use hot water over 40 °C(104°F) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in air conditioner

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.
