Extend the guide panels (ITEM F) to fill the window opening using 4 screws (ITEM B) to secure them, as shown in FIG. 9.

I_l INSTALL THE SASH SEAL AND SASH LOCK

•Cut the sash seal (ITEM E) to the window width. Stuff the sash seal between the glass and the window to prevent air and insects from getting into the room, as shown in FIG. 9.

•Fasten the remaining L bracket on either side of the window using screw (ITEM A). See FIG. 9 inset. Installing this bracket prevents window from being raised which may result in unit falling.

I_IIF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY

STORM WINDOW FRAME

•If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window sill so that the unit can be installed without interference from the the storm window frame. See FIG. 10.

Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4" higher than the storm window frame to help condensation to drain propedy to the outside.

•Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 1112" wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center of the outer sill flush against the back of the

inner sill. Screw the L brackets into this strip. This will raise the L bracket as shown in FIG. 10.
