STEP 3:
PREPARE AND INSTALL CABINET
1. Slidechassisfromcabinet.ReferbacktoStep1of
Window Mounting section.
2. Place cabinet into opening with bottom rail resting
rmlyonbottomboardofwoodenframe.
3. Position cabinet to achieve proper slope for water
removal. (See Fig. 5.)
4. Secure bottom rail to wooden frame with two large
woodscrews1″(2.5cm)longusingthetwoholesin
the bottom of the channel resting on frame. (See
Fig. 6.)
Refer to Step 5 of Window Mounting section for

in Step 3.
6. Install chassis into cabinet by following all directions
in Step 9 of Window Mounting section.
OPTIONAL:Caulkingandinstallationoftrimoninterior

openings around top and sides of cabinet, and all sides
of wood sleeve to the opening.
NOTE: See Fig. 11 of Window Mounting Instructions for
bottom rail seal location.
NOTE: Check that air
conditioner is tilted back
about 1-1/2″ to 1-5/8″
(3° to 4° downward
toward the outside). If,
after proper installation,
condensation does not
drain from the overflow
drain hole during normal
use, adjust slope.
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-WallInstallationforwallthicknessgreater
than 8½″).
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
instep2ofThru-The-WallInstallationbutmakeit
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 the cabinet.
3. Install a lintel to support masonry wall above
cabinet.Existingholesincabinetcanbeusedand/
or additional holes can be drilled to fasten cabinet
at various positions. Be sure that side louver
clearance is in accordance with Step 1 of Masonry
Construction.

FOLLOW ME FEATURE:
This feature can ONLY be activated
from the remote control. The
remote control serves as a remote
thermostat, allowing for precise
temperature control at its location.
To activate the Follow Me feature, point the remote
control toward the unit and press the FOLLOWME
button. The remote displays the actual temperature
at its location. The remote control will send this
signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes until the
FOLLOWME button is pressed again. If the unit does
not receive the Follow Me signal during any 7 minute
interval, the unit will beep to indicate use of the
Follow Me feature has ended. The actual temperature
can be displayed on the unit by pressing the FAN

AUTO (only AUTO-COOLING and AUTO-FAN) modes.
TO OPERATE AUTO FEATURE:
When you set the air conditioner to AUTO mode, it
will automatically select cooling, or fan only operation
depending on what temperature you have selected
and the room temperature. The air conditioner will
automatically control room temperature around the
temperature you set. In this mode, the fan speed
cannot be adjusted. It starts automatically at a speed
according to the room temperature.
TO OPERATE FAN ONLY:
Use this function (
) only when cooling is not
desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust
stale air. (Remember to open the vent during this
function,butkeepitclosedduringcoolingfor
maximumcoolingeciency.)Youcanchooseany
fan speed you prefer. During this function, the display
will show the actual room temperature, not the set
temperature as in the cooling mode.
TO OPERATE ON DRY MODE:
In this mode, the air conditioner will reduce air
humidity. If the space is a closed or sealed area,
some degree of cooling will continue.
