NOTICE
Glass
· Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows are not
equipped with safety glass, and if broken, could
fragment causing injury. Many laws and building codes
require safety glass in locations adjacent to or near
doors. Andersen windows are available with safety glass
that could reduce the likelihood of injury when broken.
Information on safety glass is available from your local
Andersen dealer.
· Tempered or laminated safety glass is not standard for
windows and must be special ordered. Check local
building codes for required locations. Failure to do so
could result in injury, product or property damage.
WARNING
· DO NOT place suction grips over lm
seam. Suction grips will not hold if
placed over lm seam to lift or move
window or door. Window or door will
fall and could result in injury, product
or property damage.
· DO NOT remove
protective film near
flammable materials.
Static charge created
when removing film
can ignite flammable
materials or cause a
shock. Doing so could result in injury, product or
property damage. See warning label on glass.
· Dispose of protective film immediately after
removing. Failure to do so could pose a suffocation
hazard to children.
NOTICE
· DO NOT remove protective lm until after construction
is completed. Doing so could allow glass to be damaged.
NOTICE
· Acid solutions used for cleaning masonry or concrete
will damage glass, fasteners, hardware, and metal
ashing. Protect window or door and follow cleaning
product manufacturer's instructions. If acid contacts
window or door, wash all surfaces immediately with
clean water.
· DO NOT use metal razor blades to
clean glass surface. Glass damage
could result.
· DO NOT use or apply solvents,
abrasives, harsh chemicals or cleaners
to glass, sash, panels, frame, or window or door
components. Doing so will result in product damage.

WARNING
Finishing (Continued)
· Finish unassembled unnished gliding patio doors
and MultiGlide™ patio doors prior to installation. Some
surfaces are not accessible
after installation. For all other
products not mentioned
above, finish all wood surfaces
immediately after installation.
Unnished wood will
deteriorate, discolor, and could
bow or split.
Some surfaces
are hidden
from view.
· DO NOT apply any type of film to insulating glass.
Doing so could cause thermal stress conditions and
result in glass damage. Shading devices (e.g. insulated
coverings, shutters, etc.) could also cause thermal stress
and condensation causing deterioration of windows
or doors.
· DO NOT use sealants on exterior
or interior glass surface.
