NOTE: To overcome interference of the support platform with
the window track or storm window, securely attach a 2² wide
shim strip to the window sill. This strip should be as long as
the width of the support platform and flush with the back
edge of the sill. The thickness of the strip should be controlled
by the amount of interference.
Pull the support angle against the outside wall
D
and tighten the screws on top of the support
platform. Adjust the leveling bolt so the
support platform is level. This will allow the air
conditioner to tilt slightly for proper drainage.
Tighten the nut.

NOTE: DO NOT drill a hole in the bottom of the pan.
The air conditioner is designed to operate with the
bottom of the pan approximately half-full of water.
