IMPORTANT
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.
For new installations, a Frigidaire Sleeve Kit (EA108T) is recommended.
For larger sleeves, an adaptor trim kit (EA120T) is available.
