Important: This wall sleeve is intended for use with a through the wall style air conditioning unit only and cannot be used with a window mount style air conditioner. Use of a window style air conditioner (side vented) inside of a wall sleeve designed for a through the wall style air conditioner (rear vented) will result in performance issues and may result in unit failure. Assemble the Wall Sleeve 1. Use four (4) screws to fasten the side panels to the bottom panel as shown below.
3. Insert the four (4) plastic clasps into the square openings as shown below. 4. Insert the louvered rear grill or expanded rear grill (included with the your air conditioner unit that you purchased separately) and fasten four (4) screws with four (4) washers as shown below.
. Install two (2) brackets on top of the sleeve and one (1) bracket on each side of the sleeve and fasten with four (4) screws. There are two options for installing the brackets which are shown in the image below. Figure A and Figure B below show 2 alternative bracket placement options where the brackets are secured either to the interior wall (Figure A) or to the exterior wall (Figure B).
7. Slide the assembled wall sleeve into the wall opening as shown below. Note: Use a carpenter’s level to ensure that the wall sleeve is level from front to back and left to right. 8. After the wall sleeve has been secured properly to the wall it is important that you seal any remaining openings or cracks with a high grade caulking product in order to eliminate all points of possible air or water infiltration.

Remove the air conditioner from the wall sleeve. 2. Remove the louvered rear grill or expanded rear grill by removing four (4) screws. 3.
