latch, and on some devices, a green light will turn on).

The power supply cord is ready for operation.

NOTES:

■ The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.

■ The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when

the test button is pressed or fails to reset.

■ Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The

power supply cord is designed as a protective device.

■ A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new

power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer

and must not be repaired.

■ The power supply cord contains no user-serviceable parts.

NOTE: If the wall thickness is 8½" (21.59 cm) or more, add

aluminum flashing over the bottom of the frame opening to

assure water is unable to enter the area between the inner

and outer wall.

Prepare and Install the Cabinet

Place the cabinet into the opening with the bottom channel

resting rmly on the bottom rail of the wood frame. Position

the cabinet so it is properly tilted for water removal.

2. Place and position cabinet

Assemble brackets. See “Install Support Brackets” in the

“Window Installation” section. Nail a wooden strip to the

outside wall to be used in conjunction with the angled sill

support brackets.

4. Place and position cabinet

Screw or nail the cabinet to the wooden frame using shims if

the frame is oversized to eliminate possible noise. Remember

to maintain proper slope for water elimination.

Reinstall the chassis into the cabinet. See the “Install the Chassis

into the Cabinet” section.

5. Secure cabinet and install chassis

Masonry Construction

1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the

frame contruction. See the “Wall Installation Instructions –

240 V Models” section for a wall thickness greater than 8½"

(21.59 cm).

2. Secure the cabinet in place using masonry nails or masonry

anchor screws. Or build a frame using the instructions found

in the “Wall Installation Instructions – 240 V Models” section.

3. Make sure the masonry above the cabinet is supported well.

Use the existing holes in the cabinet or additional drilled holes

to fasten the cabinet at various positions. Make sure that the

side louvers are clear of any obstructions.

4. Install the exterior cabinet support brackets according to

“Prepare and Install the Cabinet” in the “Wall Installation

Instructions – 240 V Models” section. Caulk or ash with

aluminum if needed. This will provide a tight seal around

the top and sides of the cabinet.

5. For a more aesthetically pleasing installation, apply wood trim

molding around the sides of the cabinet without obstructing

the side louvers.

Secure the bottom channel to the wood frame with two large

1" (2.5 cm) wood screws.
