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.
Impact Resistant Glass used by Andersen is not hurricane proof or shatter proof, and may not offer a high level of
security. Proper installation of window and door units with impact resistant glass is as important to product
performance as the glass. 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. Andersen has no responsibility in
regard to the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Andersen products.

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 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.
• Andersen® 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 non-reflective
flashings. Highly reflective flashing tapes can raise the surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl
deformation and product damage may occur.
• 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 and/or vinyl. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.
