ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION - THRU-THE-WALL (CONT.)

Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following

dimensions depending on your model (FIG. 1 & 2).

WIDTH “X” = inside model plus twice the thickness of the

framing material used.

HEIGHT “Y” = inside model height plus twice the thickness

of framing material used.

4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions of

your model listed above (Measure twice). 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 below.

5. Nail the spacers to the studs. They should be flush with

the dry wall.

NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2” 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

1. Slide the chassis from the cabinet. Refer back to the

REMOVE CHASSIS instructions and FIG. 1-6 in the

WINDOW MOUNTING SECTION.

2. Place the cabinet into the opening with the bottom rail

resting firmly on the bottom board of the wood frame.

3. Position the cabinet so it is tilted properly for water re-

moval as seen below.

4. Secure the bottom rail to the wood frame with two large

1” (2.5 cm) long wood screws as shown below.
