WALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS—
15,00024,000 BTU MODELS
Additional Tools Required
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools
listed here.
■Wood frame
■Shims
■10 wood screws − 1" (2.54 cm) long minimum
Selecting a Wall Installation Site
The air conditioner has a slide-out chassis so that it can be
installed through an outside wall.
Max wall thickness: 8" (20.32 cm)
IMPORTANT: In order to ensure proper airow, the side louvers
must never be blocked.
Wall requirements:
■Allows unblocked airflow from the rear and sides of the air
conditioner
■Located near existing electrical outlets or where another
outlet can or will be installed
■Does not support major structural loads, such as the frame
construction at ends of windows, under truss-bearing
points, etc.
■Does not have plumbing or wiring inside
■Does not have objects blocking the air vents
Preparing the Wall Installation Site
The air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be
installed through an outside wall. Prepare the wall in-frame
construction (including brick and stucco veneer).
Working from inside the room, nd the wall stud that is nearest to
the center of the installation area. Cut a hole on each side of the
center stud, leaving at least 33/" (8.57 cm) below the hole.
1. Cut a hole on sides of center stud
33/"
minimum
Using the below table to nd installation dimensions, measure
between the inside edges of every other stud.
Width X=inside model plus twice the thickness of the framing
material used.

Build a wooden frame with the inside dimensions of your model
listed above. 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.
Nail the spacers to the studs. They should be ush with the
drywall.
2. Build frame

15
NOTE: If the wall thickness is 8½" (21.59 cm) 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
Place the cabinet into the opening with the bottom channel
resting rmly on the bottom rail of the wood frame. Position
the cabinet so it is properly tilted for water removal.
2. Place and position cabinet
Assemble brackets. See “Install Support Brackets” in the
“Window Installation” section. Nail a wooden strip to the
outside wall to be used in conjunction with the angled sill
support brackets.
4. Place and position cabinet
Screw or nail the cabinet to the wooden frame using shims if
the frame is oversized to eliminate possible noise. Remember
to maintain proper slope for water elimination.
Reinstall the chassis into the cabinet. See the “Install the Chassis
into the Cabinet” section.
5. Secure cabinet and install chassis
Masonry Construction
1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the
frame contruction. See the “Wall Installation Instructions –
240 V Models” section for a wall thickness greater than 8½"
(21.59 cm).
2. Secure the cabinet in place using masonry nails or masonry
anchor screws. Or build a frame using the instructions found
in the “Wall Installation Instructions – 240 V Models” 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
“Prepare and Install the Cabinet” in the “Wall Installation
Instructions – 240 V Models” section. Caulk or ash 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 without obstructing

for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter at least
once per month to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the lter in
place. Doing so will degrade the unit performance over time.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.
