Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly
which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this, attach
a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should
have a depth of at least 1/2”.
Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2”higher than
the storm window frame. This will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough
for proper drainage. (15K/18K See FIG.1/FIG.2 ; 22K/24K See
FIG.3/FIG.4).
