rn IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY
STORM WINDOW FRAME
• If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2"
wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full
width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick
enough to raise the height of the window sill so that
the unit can be installed without interference from the
the storm window frame. See FIG. 20.
Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4"
higher than the storm window frame to help
condensation to drain properly to the outside.
■ Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by
1V 2 " wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center
of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill.
Screw the Window locking brackets into this strip.
This will raise the Window locking bracket as shown
in FIG. 20.
