Preparing Window with Storm Window
or Other Obstruction
Follow the steps in “Prepare Window Opening”.
If possible, remove the storm window frame or other obstruction.
If the storm window frame or obstruction CANNOT be removed,
a wood spacer will be required to ensure that the air conditioner
slopes to the outside. This will allow condensation and rainwater
to drain away. Make sure that drain holes or slots are not caulked
or painted shut.
Using a level and measuring tape, determine thickness of wood
spacer needed to allow the air conditioner to slope downward
slightly to the outdoors. The block should provide at least 1/2"
(1.27 cm) of height above the obstruction.
