To position the sash back into the frame on Andersen

400 Series tilt-wash

windows, grip both corners, and tilt it up into its original vertical position. Press

After washing the lower sash, tilt it up into its original position in the jamb liner.

Slide the lower sash down and lock the windows, taking care to avoid pinching

Cleaning 200 Series Tilt-Wash Double-Hung Windows

Andersen

200 Series tilt-wash windows may be washed

from the inside. To tilt the sash inward for cleaning, start by

opening the lower sash three (3) inches. Grip the latches

on the lower sash, and slide them toward the center of the

sash (Fig. 10). Pull sash inward. Keep the sash supported

by positioning a chair or another piece of furniture below

it (Fig. 11). To prevent injury or breakage, do not place

anything on glass. Once the lower sash is down, repeat the

procedure with the upper sash by sliding it down slightly

to access the sliding tilt-latches.

To position the sash back into the frame, tilt the upper sash

up into its original position. Grip the tilt-latches and slide

them inward as you position the sash back into the frame,

then release them. Push the upper sash down approximately

one (1) inch 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. Repeat

with the lower sash.

• After upper sash has been tilted back into the frame, upper sash MUST be

pushed downward about one (1) inch to re-engage sash balance. If balance

is not re-engaged, upper sash will quickly fall, potentially causing injury.

Note: After cleaning, lubricate all moving parts with a light oil or dry silicone

spray. Lubricants or harsh abrasive cleaners are not recommended.

Cleaning Grilles and Insect Screens

To remove dust, dirt, smoke, film, soot and salt spray from grilles, use a mild detergent

water solution and a soft cloth or brush. To remove grease, oil or industrial solids, you

may need to use stronger solutions such as Mr. Clean

, Soft Scrub

or rubbing alcohol.

Glass surface should not come into contact with abrasive materials. Conventional

insect screens and TruScene

insect screens are best cleaned with a soft cloth

or sponge.
