Shell (Cabinet) Installation – Standard Sash Windows
STEP 1 Check the window sill and frame to be sure they are in good condition and firmly anchored to the wall. Repair if necessary.
STEP 2 CABINET MOUNTING: Raise the lower window sash 1/4" more than the height of the cabinet. Carefully slide the cabinet through the open window until the sill plate channel rests behind the window sill and the top support angle rests against the window (See Figure D). Center the cabinet side to side and drill three (3) 5/32" dia. pilot holes into the window sill using the holes in the cabinet sill plate as a guide. Install three (3) #12A x 2" long screws (Item #4) (See Figure D).
