Andersen

400 Series Woodwright
®
tilt-wash double-hung
windows may feature an optional half insect screen that allows
thorough ventilation without affecting the view through the
upper sash. To remove this insect screen for cleaning, start
by raising the lower sash to the full open position. From the
interior, unlock the upper and lower latches on one side of
the insect screen. While holding onto the upper and lower insect screen pulls
(Fig. 12) ,
gently push the insect screen away from the window. The two locked latches act as
hinges and then slide out when the insect screen is disengaged from the frame. Turn
the insect screen slightly, and carefully bring it through the opening and into the home.
To reinstall the half insect screen, simply reverse the procedure, inserting the locked
latches into the insect screen channel to make hinge points. Use the upper and lower
screen pulls
(Fig. 13) to draw the
insect screen into place, and secure
the unlocked latches.
The insect screens on Andersen
®
200 Series double-hung windows
feature clips on the top of the screen
frame that fit into a groove at the head of the window exterior
(Fig. 14) . These clips
help to hold the insect screen in place. To remove the insect screen, start by raising
the lower sash to the full open position. From the interior, grasp the two latch tabs on
the bottom of the insect screen frame and gently push them toward the center of the
insect screen.
Carefully push the insect screen outward at an angle, and
disengage clips at the head of the window. Then pull the insect
screen through the window opening into the home. To reinstall
the insect screen, simply reverse the procedure
(Fig. 15) ,
making sure the clips on the top of the insect screen frame are
completely engaged in the insect screen groove. Pull the insect
screen inward and, once the insect screen is in position, push the latches outward to
secure it in place.
Note: The initial installation of the insect screen for Andersen 200 Series
double-hung windows requires some minor assembly. See the installation
