Use and Care Manual

To tilt the upper sash inward for cleaning, start by sliding
the wash assists back to the top of the jamb liner. The
upper sash will not tilt out until both wash gaskets are at
the top of the jamb liner. Pull the upper sash down until it
is about two (2) or three (3) inches above the lower sash.
Grip the tilt-latches on the top of the sash, and slide them
toward the center (Fig. 4). Pull inward.
After cleaning the exterior glass, grip the tilt-latches and slide them inward as
you position the sash back into the frame, then release them. Slide the sash
down a few inches to make sure it is engaged in the jamb channel. Make sure
the tilt-latches are engaged by pushing gently back and forth on the sash.
To position the lower sash back into the frame, grip both corners, and tilt it up
into its original vertical position. Press firmly on both corners until it snaps back
into the jamb liner. Slide the lower sash down and lock the windows, taking care
to avoid pinching your fingers.
