Andersen WindowCare service center hours are Monday through Friday, 7AM to 7PM Central Time and Saturday, 8AM to 4PM Central Time. Thank you for choosing Andersen products. Proper assembly, installation and maintenance of Andersen products is essential if the benefits of experienced product design and engineering, quality materials, and skilled workmanship are to be fully attained. Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.) and, Andersen strongly recommends consultation with an Andersen supplier or an experienced contractor, architect, or structural engineer prior to the assembly and installation of any Andersen product. Assembly and installation of Andersen products is the sole responsibility of the architect, building owner, contractor and/or consumer and Andersen has no responsibility in this regard. Use of ladders and/or scaffolding and working at elevated levels may be hazardous. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for safe operation. Use extreme caution when working around window and door openings. Personal injury and/or falls could occur. Improper use of hand or power tools could result in personal injury and/or product damage. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for safe operation. Always wear safety glasses. Weight of window and door unit(s) and accessories will vary. Use a reasonable number of people with sufficient strength to lift, carry, and install window and door unit(s) and accessories. Always use appropriate lifting techniques. Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows are not equipped with safety glass, and if broken, could fragment causing injury. Many laws and building codes require safety glass in locations adjacent to or near doors. Andersen windows are available with safety glass that may reduce the likelihood of injury when broken. Information on safety glass is available from your local Andersen dealer. Do not apply any type of film to glass. Thermal stress conditions resulting in glass damage could occur. The use of movable insulating materials such as window coverings, shutters, and other shading devices may damage glass and/or vinyl. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of window unit. Andersen and the AW logo are registered trademarks of Andersen Corporation.

Wear gloves, safety glasses goggles or eye shields when handling glass. Tape broken glass with filament or duct tape before removal to reduce glass fragmentation. Check the sash size, glass type, color, and kit contents to verify all parts are correct. The unit / sash opening must be plum, level, square, and free of any bowed jambs. To check, measure frame diagonally from corner to corner. The distances must be within 1/8" of each other. Inspect for any damage to the frame. Repair as needed.

Finish interior wood surfaces immediately after installation. Discoloration, bowing and/or splitting may result. Do not stain or paint; weatherstrips, silicone beads, or hardware. INTERIOR FINISHING Andersen has determined that two coats of polyurethane varnish or two coats of paint plus a primer are needed to protect natural wood surfaces. Without these finishes, wood surfaces will discolor and deteriorate from moisture and fungal attack. Please follow these instructions carefully to make sure of satisfactory results. Andersen assumes no liability for incorrectly finished windows or window damage caused by not following these instructions. Before you begin, thoroughly read and follow the instructions and warnings on each container of finish material. Before Finishing Set all nails with a punch to 1/16 below the wood surface. Fill all nail holes with a quality wood filler and let dry. Lightly sand the wood surfaces with 220-grit sandpaper. Wipe away dust or dirt with a clean cloth before proceeding. Staining Apply a pre-stain to make sure of a uniform appearance. Apply the pre-stain in the direction of the wood grain. Apply the stain according to the manufacturer s instructions. Two coats are recommended for best results. Apply the stain in the direction of the wood grain. Apply a coat of quality polyurethane varnish. Wait at least 5 hours (preferably 24 hours), and lightly sand the surface. Apply a second coat of polyurethane. Be sure to lap the finish coat 1/16 onto the glass to form a water seal between the glass and wood. Let dry for 24 hours. Painting Apply one coat of quality primer/sealer. Apply 2 coats of quality trim paint according to the manufacturer s instructions. Be sure to lap the finish coat 1/16 onto the glass to form a water seal between glass and wood. Let dry for 24 hours. CLEANING Clean exterior frame, sash members and screens using a mild detergent-and-water solution and a soft cloth or brush. Abrasive cleaners or solutions containing corrosive solvents should not be used. For persistent dirt or grime, Mr. Clean or Soft Scrub brand cleansers or a mixture of water and alcohol or ammonia can be used. MAINTENANCE Immediately sand and refinish any interior wood that becomes stained or mildewed to prevent discoloration and/or damage. For further information, contact your local Andersen supplier. Suppliers can be found in the Yellow Pages under Windows. 6
