All supporting parts must be secured
to firm wood, masonry or metal.
The electrical outlet must be within

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 stool.
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 stool to
make it 1/2 higher than the top of the
storm window frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws
provided by the installer.
