Option 1 —Wood, metal or plastic molding
When you are using wood, metal or plastic molding, the wood
frame should line up with inside wall as shown.
Option 2 —Plastered wall with no molding
If the plastered wall is to be flush with the cabinet and no molding
is used, the wood frame must be set ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) into the inside
wall.
Install Wood Frame
1. Construct wood frame. See “Location Requirements” for
dimensions.
2. Measure outside width and height of frame to determine wall
opening dimensions.
3. Cut opening through the wall. Remove and save insulation.
NOTES:
■
Dimension for depth depends on wall thickness and type
of molding.
■
Do not block louvers in air conditioner cabinet.
■
Use 1" (2.5 cm) or thicker lumber for wood frame.
4. Apply wood preservative to the outside exposed surface.
5. Insert the frame in the wall opening. Square and level frame.
6. Attach frame securely to the wall.
Install Cabinet into Wood Frame
1. Insert cabinet into the framed wall opening.
The top of the cabinet should extend ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) into the
room. If there is trim, the cabinet should extend ¹⁄₂" (13 mm)
past the trim.
2. Use a level to check that cabinet is level side to side.
3. Check that air conditioner cabinet is tilted to the outside so
that water will run to the outside.

use the insulation to seal opening between cabinet and
frame.

provide a poor air seal between cabinet and air conditioner.
