[] STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
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 stool.
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 stool 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. 1/2" higher
