Remove labels and clean the glass, using a soft, clean, grit-free cloth and mild soap or detergent.
Be sure to remove all liquid by wiping dry or use a clean squeegee. The vinyl frame may be
cleaned as described above. For stubborn dirt, a "non-abrasive" cleaner such as Bon-Ami® or Soft
Scrub® may be used. DO NOT use solvents such as mineral spirits, toluene, xylene, naphtha or
muriatic acid as they can dull the finish, soften the vinyl and/or cause failure of the insulated unit
seal. Keep door tracks clear of dirt and debris. Keep weep holes open and clear of obstructions.
CLEANINg INSTRUCTIONS
Because all construction must anticipate some water infiltration, it is important that the wall system
be designed and constructed to properly manage moisture. Pella Corporation is not responsible
for claims or damages caused by anticipated and unanticipated water infiltration; deficiencies in
building design, construction and maintenance; failure to install Pella® products in accordance
with Pella installation instructions; or the use of Pella products in wall systems which do not allow
for proper management of moisture within the wall systems. The determination of the suitability of
all building components, including the use of Pella products, as well as the design and installation
of flashing and sealing systems are the responsibility of the Buyer or User, the architect,
contractor, installer, or other construction professional and are not the responsibility of Pella.
Pella products should not be used in barrier wall systems which do not allow for proper
management of moisture within the wall systems, such as barrier Exterior Insulation and Finish
Systems, (EIFS) (also known as synthetic stucco) or other non-water managed systems. Except
in the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, Pella makes no
warranty of any kind and assumes no responsibility for Pella windows and doors installed
in barrier wall systems. In the states listed above, the installation of Pella products in barrier
wall or similar systems must be in accordance with Pella installation instructions.
Product modifications that are not approved by Pella Corporation will void the Limited Warranty.
