2STORM 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.

Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the installer.
