D STORMWINDOW 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, 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.
