INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Universal Wall-Sleeve Dimensions
Note:

• All wall sleeves used to mount the new air conditioner must be in sound structural condition and have a rear grille that securely attaches to the sleeve or rear flange that serves as a stop for the air conditioner.
• For new or replacement installation, an 18″ wall sleeve (not included) is recommended prior to installation.

CAUTION
When the installation is complete, the replacement unit must have a rearward slope as shown in Fig. 1.

1. Remove old air conditioner from wall sleeve and prepare as described below:
   • Clean interior (Do not disturb seals).
   • Check the wall sleeve to be sure it is securely fastened in the wall before installing.
   • Repair painted surface if needed.

2. If the ground wire hole does not exist, drill a 3/16″ pilot hole for the grounding screw through the left-hand side of the sleeve, in a clear area approximately 3″ inches back from the front edge as shown below. Pull the loose end of the ground wire through the front of the sleeve and bend it away from the opening. This will be attached to the air conditioner once installed.

3. Install the new unit into the wall sleeve.

4. To attach the ground wire to the new unit, remove the screw from the front, left side.

5. Assemble and install the trim frame.

Note:

• This unit´s increased performance characteristics are the result of having two rear intakes.
• It is very important that these installation instructions are followed for maximum operation efficiency.
• If there is an existing sleeve and rear grille, please check whether the dimension is suitable or not, otherwise replace them.

Existing Frigidaire sleeves may have older single-sided intake grilles.
These grilles should be replaced with the dual intake grille type.

• Remove the existing grille and save the mounting screws.
• Place the grille included with your new air conditioner towards the inside rear of the sleeve.
• Attach the new grille by aligning the four mounting holes.
• Re-insert the self-tapping screws into the nylon retainers.

Grille Removal
Important: Single intake grille must be removed when used with the dual intake through the wall units.
Warning: When removing the grille, protect it from falling by securing it with a leash. This can be cord fastened or strapping looped through the grille and secured with a knot. While holding the grille by the leash with one hand, the retaining screws can be removed and the grille can be brought inside through the front of the sleeve.
Direct Unit Mounting
In cases where the dual intake grille cannot be mounted directly to the sleeve, it is recommended to attach the grille from the back of the wall unit to the predrilled hole in the unit.

1. Attach the 2 seals (1″ x 3/8″ x 14″), as shown in Fig. 3.
   

2. Position the grille over the rear of the unit making sure that: a. The double set of screw holes is at the bottom.  Fig. 6b. The intake fins on either side are pointed away  Ground Wire Installation from the unit

3. Align the top of the grille with the top of the unit. The overhang on each side is equal.

4. If the unit has not been predrilled (some models),  carefully drill 4¼” holes through the grille and into the side flange of the unit approximately 1½” to 2″ from the top and bottom, as shown in Fig. 4 and 5. Be careful not to break the copper pipe.

5. Install 4-#8 self-tapping screws to affix the grille to the unit.

6. Insert the unit into the sleeve.

Grille to Sleeve Attachment

In cases where the dual intake grille fits inside the sleeve and the grille flange overlaps the sleeve flange, the direct attachment may be possible.

IMPORTANT: If the suitable grille is not used, it may lead to product damage and possible failure.

Seal Installation

1. 1″ x 3/8″ x 25″ long seal in the center at the top of the sleeve. Remove the back paper and press it into position.

2. 1″ x 3/8″ x 14″ seals to the left and right sides of the sleeve.

3. Cut 1″x 3/8″ x 25″ long seals to 14″ long each and attach
   them to the vertical sections of the grille as shown.

4. Place one 1/2″ x 3½” x 1½” centering block on each sidewall. Place in the center of the sidewall with the tapered end facing the opening.

5. Gently slide the unit into the sleeve.

Ground Wire Installation

1. Install the screw end of the ground wire into the inside of the sleeve, according to preparation instructions.
2. Before sliding the unit all the way back, remove the second screw from the left side of the unit.
3. Remove the plastic washer from the screw.
4. Screw the other end of the ground wire into the unit as shown. Make sure the toothed washer is against the cabinet. 5. Slide unit completely to the rear.

Existing Dual Intake Grille
In cases where the existing sleeve is already installed with a dual intake grille, the existing. the grille may be left in place. Make sure the outer 3½” to 4½” louvers are angled from the left and right sides of the sleeve toward the center. This provides a proper flow of outside air into the unit. From the installation kit, apply two 1″ x 3/4″ x 14″ seals along the flat metal flange of the condenser.
Insert the unit with the seal into the sleeve pushing it all the way to the rear, making sure the seals are against the rear grille. The seals are necessary to reduce recirculation of hot air into the intakes which will reduce system performance. An alternative is to purchase a 3/4″ diamond-cut aluminum grille and cut it to fit inside the sleeve. Secure it with screws. Attach the dual intake grill directly to the back of the unit. Slide the entire unit into the sleeve and seal with the stuffing seal supplied with the kit.
Trim Kit Installation Instructions

1. Install the 1″ x 1″ x 84″ long stuffer seal between the wall sleeve and the unit. A flat-bladed screwdriver or putty knife is needed.
2. Assemble the trim frame by inserting the top and bottom pieces into the side pieces and snapping them into place.
3. Pull the cord through the trim frame and slide the trim over the unit until it is flush with the wall.
   Energy-saving suggestion: In order to reach maximum energy savings and comfortability, it is necessary to use an appropriately sized cover to provide additional insulation and air sealing during the off-season.
