Installation Guide
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.
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.
• FactorysuppliedHeadFlashingandInstallationFlangesDO 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.
• Donotapplyanytypeoffilmtoglass.Thermalstressconditionsresultinginglassdamagecouldoccur.
• Useofmovableinsulatingmaterialssuchaswindowcoverings,shutters,andothershadingdevicesmaydamageglass. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.
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.
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.
