5. Install the L brackets on the outer sill with the short side of the bracket against the back of the inner sill. Install one L bracket 7.5” to each side of center line. See Fig. 5.

6. Carefully lift the air conditioner and slide it into the open window. Make sure the bottom guide of the unit drops Into the notches of the L brackets. When the air conditioner drops into the L brackets, the air conditioner will be centered in window opening as shown in Fig. 6. While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the window sash down behind the top channel of the unit, as shown in Fig. 7. Fix top channel to window sash with one 3/4” screw, and fix side curtain frames with four 3/4" screws as shown in Fig .6.

7. If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood sti’ip 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 storm window frame, as show in Fig. 8. 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 17" long by 1i/2”wide and same thickness as first sti’ip) in the center of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill. Screw the L brackets into this strip, this will raise the L bracket as shown in Fig. 8.
