Prepare Air Conditioner; Window/Storm Window Requirements - GE AEW24 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
1
These instructions are for a standard double-hung
window. You will need to modify them for other types
of windows.
All supporting parts must be secured
to firm wood, masonry or metal.
The electrical outlet must be within reach of the
power cord.
Follow the dimensions in the table and illustration
for your model.
29" - 41"
(With accordion panels)
STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
2
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will keep it
from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.
WOOD PIECES
WIDTH: 2"
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a
piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2 higher
than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl
frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the
installer.
