OPTION B
Step 1
Remove the air conditioner from it's packaging, remove fixing
screws and slide the air conditioner out of it's housing (Refer
to Installation Steps).
Step 2
Prepare the hole in the wall so that the bottom of the housing
is well supported, the top has minimum clearance and the air
inlet louvers have clearance as shown below in options A and
B. Holes from the outside through to the cavity should be
sealed. The housing should slope down towards the rear by
about 5mm to allow water formed during operation to drain.
Step 3
Install the housing into the wall and secure. Ensure the foam
seals are not damaged. Flash, seal or fill gaps around the
inside and outside to provide satisfactory appearance and
protection against the weather, insects and rodents.
