3.4 STORM 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: Minimum 1 1/2"(38mm)
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.
