NOTE: All wall sleeves used to mount the new air
conditioner must be in sound structural condition and
have a rear grille that securely attaches to sleeve, or
rear flange that serves as a stop for the air conditioner.
IMPORTANT: When installation is complete, replacement
unit MUST have a rearward slope as shown.
2. Remove old air conditioner from wall sleeve and
prepare wall sleeve as follows:
■ Clean interior (do not disturb seals).
■
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing air conditioner. Drive more nails or
screws through sleeve, into wall, if needed.
■ Repair paint if needed.
3.
If not pre-existing, drill a 1/8” hole to attach the supplied
grounding wire to the left side of the wall sleeve (see
approximate hole location dimensions in the illustration
below). Use the toothed washer and pointed screw to
attach one end of the supplied green striped ground
wire to the inside of the wall sleeve. The toothed
washer must be between the eyelet of the wire and the
wall sleeve. BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
THE SCREW. Pull loose end of ground wire out front
of sleeve, and temporarily bend it down and around
lower edge of sleeve. This ground wire will later be
attached to frame of air conditioner once it is installed.

IMPORTANT - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
■ This unit’s performance characteristics result from
having two rear air intakes.
■ It is very important that these instructions are followed
so the unit can operate at maximum efficiency.
■ If this is an existing sleeve and there is an existing
rear grille, it may need to be replaced by one that has
been shipped with the unit in the accessory kit. If the
new rear grille is too small for the rear sleeve opening,
use the black plastic grille. Insure it is secured in place
using the included screws, washers and grommets.
FOR INCREASED EFFICIENCY, UTILIZE THE
PROVIDED LOUVERED REAR PANEL
Installation of new grille provided with unit.
1. Remove the existing grille. (Exception: GE 26”.)
2. Place the grille, included with the new air
conditioner, towards the rear of the sleeve.
3. Mark through the hole positions.
4. Drill through the sleeves flanges with a 1/8” drill bit.
5. Attach the new grille with self-threading screws
and washers.
6. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the grille is placed
exactly as shown below.
7. Most decorative exterior grilles may be left in place as
long as the proper interior air direction grille is installed.
