1. Remove existing rear grille as shown on page 11
of this manual and replace with provided louvered
panel. Install as shown here.
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 1½″ 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 OK, remove unit and proceed to the next
step. If not, go to step 8.
5. Attach (1) 1″ x 1½″ x 15″ seal to the left side of the sleeve
and (1) 1″ x 1½″ x 15″ seal to the right side of the sleeve.
6. Cut (2) 1″ x 1½″ x 25″ long seals to 14″ long and
attach vertically to the rear grille 4.5″ from the left side
and 4″ from the right side.
7. Attach (1) 1″ x 1½″ x 25″ long seal in the center at the
top of the sleeve. Remove the backing paper and press into
position. Proceed to step 14.
Use these next steps if the unit requires extra extension
into the room.
8. Attach 1″ x ¾″ x 14″ long seal over the solid vertical
portion of the rear grille.
9. Attach (2) 4½″ x 3½″ x 1½″ foam blocks with the
slot overlapping the seal above.
10. Install the divider into the slots of the foam blocks. You
may need to trim the length to size.
11. Repeat steps 8 through 10 for the other vertical portion
of the grille as shown.
12. Attach (2) 1″ x 1½″ x 14″ seals along the sides of the
sleeve, again making sure all seals are flush.
13. Cut the 1″ x 1½″ x 25″ seal to fit the top of the sleeve.
The pieces must be fitted flush to the edge of the divider.
14. Center unit and gently slide unit into sleeve.
15. Before sliding all of the way back, remove first screw
from front on left side of unit.
16. Remove the plastic washer from the screw.
17. Screw and attach the other end of the ground wire to the
unit as shown in picture. Make sure that the toothed washer
is against the cabinet.
18. Slide the unit completely to the rear to ensure a good
seal, making sure the ground wire does not become tangled.
19. Seal & frame the unit as described on page 21.
20. If you have difficulty with mounting the grille to the
sleeve, follow the instructions for direct mounting on page 20.
