2. 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.
WOOD PIECES
WIDTH: 2
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness,
higher than the top of the storm window frame
or the vinyl frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided
by the installer.
