Installation of the Cabinet
Prepare the hole in the wall so that the bottom of the cabinet is well supported, the top has minimum clearance and the air inlet louveres have clearance as shown. Holes from the outside through to the cavity should be sealed. The cabinet should slope down towards the rear by about 10 mm ~ 15 mm to allow water formed during operation to drain.
Install the cabinet 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.
Unit may be supported by a solid frame from below or by a hanger from a solid overhead support.
