STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS

A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will
keep it from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to
the sill.
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 sill to make it 1/2"
higher than the top of the storm window
