Window Preparation; Installation - Whirlpool ACQ052PK0 Use & Care Manual And Installation Instructions

Window preparation

If storm window frame interferes with air conditioner,
attach a 2" (5 cm) -wide wood strip to inner window sill,
across full width of sill. Wood strip should be thick
enough to raise height of window sill so that you can
install air conditioner without interference from storm
window frame, so that condensation water properly
drains to the outside.
Note: If distance between storm window frame and
inner sill-mounted wood strip is greater than 1 inch
(2.5 cm), wood strip for outer window sill (described in
right column) is not necessary.
