Select the Wall Location
This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be installed through an outside wall as specified below:
MAX WALL THICKNESS: 8″
IMPORTANT: The 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 or will be installed.
  4. Does not have objects blocking the air vents which limits cooling.
  5. Allows unblocked airflow from the rear and sides of the air conditioner.

Prepare the Wall

  1. Prepare the wall in frame construction (including brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room, find the wall stud that is nearest the center of the installation area.
  2. Cut a hole on each side of the center stud.
  3. Measure between the inside edges of every other stud as shown below. Measure and cut an opening with the following dimensions depending on your model.
    WIDTH “X” = inside model plus twice the thickness of the framing material used.
    HEIGHT “Y” = inside model height plus twice the thickness of framing material used.

Inside Franme Width 23 7/8 (60.6 cm) 26 9/10 (68.3 cm)

Whirlpool-WHHW182AW-Window-Air-Conditioner-with-
Heater-\(35\)

  1. Build a wooden frame with the inside dimensions of your model listed above (Measure twice). The frame depth should be the same as the wall thickness. Fill in
    extra space from the opening to the studs with wood spacers as shown below.

  2. Nail the spacers to the studs. They should be flush with the dry wall

NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2 or more, add aluminum flashing over

the bottom of the frame opening to assure water is unable to enter the area between the inner and outer wall. Prepare and Install the Cabinet

  1. Slide the chassis from the cabinet. Refer back to the remove chassis instructions (Page 6 and 7) in the window mounting section.

  2. Place the cabinet into the opening with the bottom rail resting firmly on the bottom board of the wood frame.

  3. Position the cabinet so it is tilted properly for water removal as seen below.

  4. Secure the bottom rail to the wood frame with two large 1 (2.5 cm) long wood screws as shown below. Whirlpool-WHHW182AW-Window-Air-Conditioner-with-Heater-\(39\)Refer to the support bracket assembly in the window mounting section to assemble the support brackets. A wooden strip nailed to the outside wall should be used in conjunction with the angled sill support brack- ets.

  5. Screw or nail the cabinet to the wooden frame using shims if the frame is oversized, to eliminate possibl noise. Remember to maintain proper slope for water
    elimination.

  6. Install the chassis Into the cabinet by followlng the steps described in the window mounting section.

OPTIONAL: Caulking and installation of the trim on the interior wall may be done if desired. Caulk the openings around the top and sides of the cabinet and all sides of the wood sleeve to the opening.
NOTE: See the window mounting instructions for the bottom rall seal location.

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION

  1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the frame construction (refer to the thru-the-wall installation for a wall thickness greater than 81/2″).

  2. Secure the cabinet in place using masonry nails, or masonry anchor screws. Or, build a frame using the instructions found in the thru-the-wall installation
    section.

  3. Make sure the masonry above the cabinet is supported well. Use the existing holes in the cabinet or additional drilled holes to fasten the cabinet at various positions. Make sure that the side louvers are clear of any obstructions.

  4. Install the exterior cabinet support brackets according to the support bracket installation instructions in the thru-the-wall installation section. Caulk or flash with aluminum if needed. This will provide a tight seal around the top and sides of the cabinet.

  5. For a more aesthetically pleasing installation, apply wood trim molding around the sides of the cabinet with- out obstructing the side louvers.
