STORM WINDOW
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and it will prevent the unit from properly draining. To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood (not included) to the window sill.
Wood Piece: Width: 5.1 cm (2”)
Length: Long enough to fit inside the window frame Thickness: To determine the thickness, place a piece of wood on the window sill to make it 1.3 cm (1/2”) higher than the top of the storm window frame or vinyl frame. Attach securely with nails or screws (not included).
