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.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by
the installer.

hung window. You will need to modify them for

■ The air conditioner can be installed without
the accordion panels if needed to fit in a narrow
window. See the window opening dimensions
below.
■ All supporting parts must be secured to firm
wood, masonry or metal.
■ The electrical outlet must be within reach of the
power cord.
