3 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 1^1 / 4^6 to 1 / 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).

  1. 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 2 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 2x4 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 wether-tight seal around top and sides of cabinet.
  5. To complete installation, apply wood trim molding around room side projection of cabinet.
