Pella Clad Hinged Patio Door 801V0101 - Manual (Page 8)

EXTERIOR FINISH
The exterior frame and sash are protected by aluminum cladding with our tough EnduraClad®
or EnduraClad Plus baked-on factory finish that needs no painting. Clean this surface with mild
soap and water. Stubborn stains and deposits may be removed with mineral spirits. DO NOT
use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface.
Use of inappropriate finishes, solvents, brickwash or cleaning chemicals will cause adverse
reactions with window and door materials and voids the Limited Warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
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’s 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 on 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’s installation instructions.
Product modifications that are not approved by Pella Corporation will void the Limited Warranty.
