I_1 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 sill.

Insert a flat head screw driver between the
front grille and the metal case along the sides.
Gently pry the grille from the case. NOTE: Cover
the flat head screw driver with tape to prevent
scratching the case.
Using the handle on bottom front of the air
conditioner, pull air conditioner out of the case.
The air conditioner is very heavy so make sure
that it will be resting on a sturdy surface.
