1. Remove existing rear grille as shown on page 9
of this manual and replace with provided louvered
rear panel.
NOTE: You may need to drill holes in flange of
existing sleeve to match new rear grille.
Because of the increased unit depth, first try dry
fitting using the method described below:
2. Place (2) 1” x 1-1/2” x 14” seals against each side.
3. Gently slide unit in and check if amount extending
from the sleeve is sufficient once the trim frame is
attached.
4. If position is correct, remove unit and proceed to
the next step. If not, go to step 9.
5. Attach (1) 1” x 1-1/2” x 25” long seal in the center
at the top of the sleeve. Remove the backing paper
and press into position.
6. Attach (2) 1” x 1-1/2” x 14” seals to the left and
right sides of the sleeve.
7. Cut (2) 1” x 3/8” x 25” seals to 14” long and attach
them to the vertical sections of the grille.
8. Attach the tapered spacer blocks to the floor of the
sleeve. Now go to step 15.
Use these next steps if the unit requires extra
extension into the room:
9. Attach 1” x 3/4” x 14” long seal over the solid
vertical portion of the rear grille.
10. Attach (4) 4-1/2” x 3-1/2” x 1-1/2” foam blocks
with the slot overlapping the seal above.
11. Install the divider into the slots of the foam blocks.
You may need to trim the length to size.
12. Repeat steps 9-11 for the other vertical portion of
the grille.
13. Attach (2) 1” x 1-1/2” x 14” seals along the sides
of the sleeve again making sure all seals are
flush.
14. Cut the 1” x 1-1/2” x 25” seal to fit the top of the
sleeve. The pieces must be fitted flush to the
edge of the divider.
