Room Air Conditioner
3.To overcome storm window interference, securely attach 2” wide wood strips to the window stool and sill, with screws. Strips should be as long as window opening and flush with back side of stool. Thickness of strips should be controlled by amount of interference (Fig. 3).
4.Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, carefully center air conditioner in window opening with the bottom bar between the window stool and the angle bracket. Air conditioner should slant slightly downward on the outside as shown by half a bubble off on a carpenters level. This outward pitch prevents water from entering the room (Fig. 3).
5.Close the window until it touches behind air conditioner top bar. Slide filler panels outward until they touch window sash tracks. (Do not release grip on air conditioner until lower window sash is in final position) (Fig. 3).
