inside corner of opening must be within 5 feet of an
appropriate electrical outlet (see Use and Care manual for
air conditioner electrical requirements.)
When wall thickness exceeds 93/8-inches, opening must be
modified to allow air to enter side louvers on case (see
special instructions on back ). Do not install air conditioner
in walls thicker than 11¾-inches. June 1998

Installation in Wall Thicker Than 93/8-inches
The side louvers in outer case provide ventilation to air
conditioner compressor and fan motor and must not be
blocked. When installing unit in a wall over 93/s-inches
thick, provisions must be made in wall opening to ensure
free airflow to the side louvers. This can be accomplished
by chamfering the vertical portions of the outside opening
as shown.
Ventilation louvers on top of case must not be obstructed.
Do not attempt to install unit in walls thicker than
11¾-inches.
