IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY STORM WINDOW
FRAME:

If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" (51 mm)
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 unit can be installed

without interference from the storm window frame, See

FIG.11. Top of wood strip should be approximately 7/8°'
(22mm) higher than the storm window frame to help
condensation to drain properly to the outside.

Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" (152mm)long
by 1-1/2" (38mm) wide and same thickness as the first strip)
in the center of the outer sill flush against the back of the

inner sill. See FIG.11.
