IF AC is Blocked by a Storm Window
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is ap- proximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain- age. (See FIG. 12).

5.For added insulation, cut the supplied insulation foam to the width of the window. Insert the foam between the window sashes to prevent air and objects from getting into the room. (See FIG. 11)
