Caring For Your New Window and Door

• Keep the lower sill channel clean and free of dirt and debris
• Apply a small amount of spray lubricant to rollers on movable window/door panel(s), wiping off any excess
• Clean glass and frame members with a mild soapy solution and rinse with clean water (a mild glass cleaner may be used) DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cleaners, wire brushes, petroleum-based solvents, corrosive materials, acetone o thinner
• Screens may be vacuumed to remove dust or may be washed with a soft brush and a mild soapy solution, then rinsed with clean water
• As with all painted finishes, natural weathering will occur over time. Use a soft wet brush or absorbent cloth to carefully remove debris from painted surfaces and periodically wash with mild soap solution and water.
• Sliding door rollers may be adjusted for proper height clearances. These rollers can be adjusted with a screwdriver through access holes in either the end or side of the sliding panel bottom part
• Check sliding door lock strike placement after adjusting the door rollers. This adjustment can be made by loosening screw fasteners, moving strike plate and tightening. Re-check for proper lock operation.
• Make sure exterior weep holes are not obstructed by debris
• Use a small soft brush, like an old toothbrush, to clear weep hole openings as needed

Caution

• Use of any petroleum-based or corrosive materials on insulated glass surfaces is not recommended. This includes oil based lubricants. These products may damage the insulating properties used in the window and may void all warranties.
• Tinting or placing foil on the internal side of doors and windows can cause excessive heat gain and can result in damaging insulated glass
