Clearance
Proper clearance enhances the cooling efficiency
of the product.
If storm window presents interference,
1
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
by the storm window frame.
The top of the wood strip on the inside sill
2
should be approximately ¾” higher than the
storm window frame or wood strip on the
outside sill to help condensation to drain
properly to the outside.
Install a second wood strip (approximately
3
6” long by 1 ½” wide and same thickness as
first strip) in the center of the outer sill flush
against the back off the inner sill. This will
raise the L bracket as shown.
