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

See FIG.1 ).
