measure its dimensions.
Install the new air conditioner according to these
installation instructions to achieve the best
performance. All wall sleeves used to mount the new
air conditioner must be in good structural condition
and have a rear grille to securely attach the new air
conditioner. (Figure 1)

ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Check your available electrical service. The power
supply available must be the same as that shown on
the unit nameplate (found on left side of cabinet).
All models are equipped with a 3-prong service plug
to provide proper service and safe positive
grounding. Do not change plug in any way. Do not
use an adapter plug. If your present wall outlet does
not match your plug, call a qualified electrician to
make the necessary corrections. SAVE CARTON for
storage and this OWNER'S MANUAL for future
reference. The carton is the best way to store unit
during winter or when not in use.
To avoid risk of personal injury, property
damage, or product damage due to the weight of
this device and sharp edges that may be
exposed:
• Air conditioners covered in this manual pose an
excessive weight hazard. Two or more people are
needed to move and install the unit.
To prevent injury or strain, use proper lifting and
carrying techniques when moving unit.
• Carefully inspect location where air conditioner will
be installed. Be sure it will support the weight of
the unit over an extended period of time.
• Handle air conditioner with care. Wear protective
gloves whenever lifting or carrying the unit. AVOID
the sharp metal fins of front and rear coils.
• Make sure air conditioner does not fall during
installation.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Tight Fitting gloves
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Pliers
• Sharp knife
• 3/8-inch open end
wrench or adjustable

INSTALLATION
NOTICE
We strongly recommend the removal of the
old wall sleeve and the installation of a new
LGE Wall Sleeve.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve,
you have to redirect the louvers at the back of
the wall sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you
run the risk of poor performance or product
failure. This is not covered under the terms of
the LGE warranty.
• Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air
to blow into the area you want. Good installation
with special attention to the proper position of the
unit will lessen the chance that service will be
needed.
ITEMS IN INSTALLATION HARDWARE
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.
2 Remove the old airconditioner from existing wall
sleeve.
3
Clean the interior of the existing sleeve.
(Do not disturb seals.)
4
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing the air conditioner. Use the
nails or screws through sleeve into wall, if
needed. Repaint sleeve if needed.
5
Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the
unit. If you plan to use your existing wall sleeve,
and it is not LGE, use procedure B or C below.
