The unit includes a discharge deck at the upper side which substantially defines the entire upper indoor cover of the unit. The discharge deck has left and right ends thereof each of which is in vertically spaced relation with a precision located structural portion of the unit. Each of the structural portions is provided with a protrusion extending vertically upward therein in the space defined between the deck and the structural portions. The inlet grille includes a front wall and left and right hand wall portions integrally formed therewith. A lower flange extends from each of the front, left and right hand walls to extend beneath the basepan. An upper flange portion is provided extending from the upper edge of both the left and right hand walls. Each of the upper flange portions is provided with means formed therein for being releasably engaged by the vertically extending protrusions. The grille is installed on the indoor section without additional fasteners by sliding the left and right hand upper flange portions into the spaces under the discharge deck to thereby engage the protrusions with the mating means provided in the flanges. Following such engagement the weight of the grille tries to rotate the grille downward about such engagement until the rear edge of the lower flange to engage the horizontal rib on the basepan.
