LIMITED PUBLICATION RELEASE
Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the many fine Andersen® products. Proper assembly, installation and
maintenance are essential if the benefits of your Andersen product are to be fully attained. Therefore, please read and
follow this instruction guide completely. If your abilities do not match this procedure’s requirements, contact an
experienced contractor. You may direct any questions about this or other products to your local Andersen dealer, found
in the Yellow Pages under “Windows” or call Andersen WindowCare® service center at 1-888-888-7020 Monday through
Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. Thank you for choosing Andersen.
Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.). 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. Andersen has no responsibility in regard to the post-manufactured
assembly and installation of Andersen products.
Use caution when working at elevated
heights and around unit openings.
Follow manufacturers’ instructions
for ladders and/or scaffolding.
Failure to do so may result in injury
or death.
Follow manufacturers’
instructions for hand or power
tools. Always wear safety
glasses. Failure to do so may
result in injury and/or product
damage.
Windows and doors can be heavy. Use
safe lifting techniques and a reasonable
number of people with enough strength
to lift, carry and install window and
door products to avoid injury and/or
product damage.
Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows and doors 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 and doors 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.
• Factory supplied Head Flashing and Installation Flanges DO NOT take the place of standard window and door flashing.
Unit must be properly flashed and sealed with silicone for protection against water and air infiltration. Use nonreflective flashings.
• Do not apply any type of film to glass. Thermal stress conditions resulting in glass damage could occur.
• Use of movable insulating materials such as window coverings, shutters, and other shading devices may damage
glass. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.

Instruction Guide 113598 B
Revised 03/15/10
Installation Guide
Metal fasteners and other hardware components may corrode when exposed to preservative treated and fireretardant treated lumber. Obtain and use the appropriate metal fasteners and hardware as called out by the
installation guide to fasten unit to any rough opening made from pressure treated and fire-retardant treated
lumber. Failure to use the appropriate materials for the installation may cause a failure resulting in injury, property
or product damage.
Rough opening header must not deflect more than 1/16" when
carrying the weight of door panels. Door header must carry
weight of door panels and all loads effecting opening. Too
much deflection will effect product performance.
Follow instructions from foam, sealant and
flashing manufacturer regarding material
application and compatibility with this
product.
Due to the complicated nature of this installation, Andersen strongly recommends consulting with a installation
professional before attempting to install this product.

Glass
Film
Seam
Suction Grip
• Laminated safety glass is not standard and must
be special ordered. Check local building codes.
Suction grips will not
hold if placed over
seam of film to lift or
move unit. Unit will
fall causing damage
or injury.
• Leave protective film in place until after
construction is finished. Leave (NFRC)
performance label in place until final inspection.
• Argon gas blend not available with high altitude
glass.
Sealants will damage exterior
coating on glass.
Film Removal
• Remove protective film from seam or corner using
plastic scraper if needed.
Static created when
removing film can ignite
flammable materials or
cause a shock.
• Remove protective film within nine months of
installation and when temperature is above 32° F.
See warning label on
glass.
Dispose of film immediately after removal. Film
may pose suffocation hazard to children.

Installation Guide
Finishing
• Film is not a substitute
for masking.
Finish wood surfaces immediately after installation.
Unfinished wood will deteriorate, discolor, and/or may
bow and split.
Do not stain or paint weatherstrip, vinyl, glass, or
hardware. Product damage may occur.
• Apply interior casing to complete installation.
• Finish all hidden wood surfaces
• Do not overload brush with stain/paint when finishing. Finish may wick between glass stop/grille on glass.
• Read and follow “Care, Finish, and Maintenance
Guide”.
• Read and follow finishing product instructions and
warnings on finishing materials.
Cleaning
Acid solutions used for cleaning masonry or concrete
will damage glass, fasteners, hardware, and metal
flashing. Protect unit and follow cleaning product
instructions carefully. If acid contacts unit, wash all
surfaces with water immediately.
Abrasive cleaners will damage glass surface.
Metal razor blades can
damage glass surface and
exterior coating.
• Clean glass using liquid glass cleaner.
• Clean exterior frame, sash and insect screens using
mild detergent and water with a soft cloth or brush.
• For hard to clean areas use a nonabrasive cleaner,
alcohol-and-water or ammonia-and-water.
Maintenance
• Do not apply any type of film to insulated glass. Thermal
stress and glass damage can result. Shading devices
(insulated covers, shutters, etc.) may also cause thermal
stress and condensation damage.
• Keep head and sill track clear of debris and water.
• Protect hangers, pivots and brackets with light spray oil.
• For more information contact your local Andersen dealer
