Window preparation

If storm window frame interferes with air conditioner, attach a 2" (5 cm) -wide wood strip to inner window sill, across full width of sill. Wood strip should be thick enough to raise height of window sill so that you can install air conditioner without interference from storm window frame, so that condensation water properly drains to the outside.

Note: If distance between storm window frame and inner sill-mounted wood strip is greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm), wood strip for outer window sill (described in right column) is not necessary.

Attach a second wood strip, approximately 6" x 1-1/2" x 2" (15.2 cm x 3.8 cm x 5 cm) in center of outer window sill, flush against back of inner sill. This wood strip will raise the L brackets to hold air conditioner securely in place.
