Finishing, Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions:
Abrasive cleaners will damage glass
and vinyl surfaces.
Do not stain or paint weatherstrip, vinyl,
glass or hardware. Product damage
may occur.
▶ Read and follow finishing product
instructions and warnings on finish
material.
Acid solutions used for cleaning
masonry or concrete will damage glass,
fasteners, hardware, vinyl and metal
ashing.
Protect unit and follow cleaning product
instructions carefully. If acid contacts
unit, wash all surfaces with water
immediately.
▶ Clean glass using liquid glass
cleaner.
▶ Clean exterior frame, sash, and
insect screens using mild detergent
and water with a soft cloth or brush.
▶ For hard to clean areas use a
nonabrasive cleaner, alcohol-and-
water or ammonia-and-water.
▶ Do not apply any type of film to
insulating glass. Thermal stress and
glass damage can result. Shading
devices (insulated coverings,
shutters, etc.) may also cause
thermal stress damage.
▶ For continued weather resistance
of sealant joints, follow the sealant
manufacturer’s recommendations for
periodic maintenance.
