Storm Window Requirements

A storm window frame will not allow the air

conditioner to tilt towards the outside and

will keep it from draining properly. To adjust

for this, attach a piece of wood to the stool.

WOOD PIECES

—

WIDTH: 2″

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.
