5. Installation of Mounting Brackets and the
Sealing Strip
NOTE: Windows come in a variety of different
styles. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify
or improve your particular installation.
A. Attach the bracket assembly to 90°angle
support brackets (Fig. 5) using (2) 1/4"X1 _"
bolts two bolts per bracket. Secure with the (2)
1/4" lock washers and (2) 1/4"nuts. DO NOT
immediately tighten these bolts as it may be
necessary to adjust the depth of the bracket
assembly, depending on the depth of your
window sill. See (Fig. 6).Install the two leveling
screws into the 90° support brackets. Test the
bracket assembly in the window before cabinet
installation. If the leveling screws are distanced
too far away from the wall to provide stability, it
may be necessary for you to shim this area with
a solid piece of wood. See (Fig. 7).
B. For proper condensation run-off it will be
necessary to adjust the angle/pitch of the
window brackets. This is accomplished by
adjusting the distance of the leveling screw on
the outer wall. The maximum angle/pitch
should not exceed more than 3/16". See (Fig.6).
C. Measure the inside window sill width and
find the center as shown in (Fig. 8), and
measure 12 3/5" either side of the center line.
Align the V-slot in each bracket on these marks
and mount the brackets to the sill using 3/4"
screws provided. Brackets should be
perpendicular to the inside window sill.
See (Fig. 8).
D. Cut the sash seal to fit the underside of the
bottom window sash. Remove the peel-off
backing on the foam and attach it to this sash.
See (Fig. 9).

Use a solid piece of wood to provide stability. Thi_
will be required when sills are extra deep. /
