7l Measure and cut filler board to proper sizes. First, measure the distance from inside one window channel to the inside of the other channel and subtract l/4”. Now subtract the width of the air conditioner and divide by 2 (see Figure 9). This will give you the width to cut each filler board. Be sure to cut the filler board across the mid-section of its longest measurement. Because the filler boards will be equal in width, they will automatically center your conditioner in your window.

Next, measure window width between window channels (include full depth of window channels). Now cut gasket to proper length. Cut unnotched end of gasket to match the notched end. Place gasket long groove over top mounting angle; place short rear groove over filler boards with long side facing inside.
