Removing/Installing Andersen

Removable Interior Grilles

Andersen

400 Series tilt-wash and 200 Series Narroline

double-hung windows

have built-in interior grommets for easy grille removal and attachment. To remove

grilles, carefully pull

the grilles away from the sash grommets, one at a time. To

install

grilles, start at the bottom of the sash, snapping them into place as you work your

way up. Brand new windows may

have thin pieces of plastic covering the grommets.

Drill or punch out these plastic pieces with a screwdriver,

small drill bit or a nail set

(Fig. 16),

using care not to

damage the window unit.

You may have to bow the grille

slightly as you install it, but excessive bending may damage

it. Take care to avoid catching your fingers under the grille

during installation.

Andersen

400 Series Woodwright

double-hung windows,

and other units such as elliptical, circle and oval

windows,

do not feature pre-installed

slots or grommets. On these

units, you must secure the grilles with an installation tool

and metal fasteners (packaged with the grilles). Start by

placing the grilles in position against the windows.

Use a pencil to mark the locations of the fasteners (Fig. 17).

(Each grille end that contacts the sash should be secured

by a fastener.) Then, carefully press the fastener into the

marked points, using the installation tool, to create slots

in the glazing bead. Press the fasteners into the slots

(Fig. 18), and snap the grille into position.

To remove interior removable wood grilles, carefully pull the grille leg away from

the fastener clips one at a time until complete grille is removed.
