IF AC IS BLOCKED BY STORM
WINDOW
If a storm window prevents the air
conditioner
from properly fitting into the space and it
cannot be removed, use a board with a
width of at least 1-1/2” and a thickness that
allows clearance for the installation of the unit
(Figure 22) . Be sure the drain holes or slots
for the storm window frame are not caulked
or painted shut. Rain water or condensation
must be allowed to drain out.
REMOVING AC FROM WINDOW
Turn the unit off and disconnect power cord. Remove sash seal from between windows, and unscrew
safety sash lock. Remove all screws installed through frame and frame lock. Remove the R1 Panel and
slide the side panels into frame. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise sash and carefully remove. Be
carefully not to spill any remaining water while lifting unit from window. Store parts with air conditioner. It is
recommended to have two people to remove the air conditioner from the window.
