Note! JELD-WEN exterior window and door products should be
installed in accordance with JELD-WEN’s recommended installation
and ashing directions, which are shipped with the products or can

installation methods and ashing systems may be utilized at the
installer’s or owner’s discretion and, in such situations the installation
should be done in accordance with the ashing manufacturer’s
instructions. Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for
proper use and compatibility. When using flashing, spray adhesive/
primer, sealant and foam products, we recommend using the
same manufacturer and verifying compatibility. It is the End User's
responsibility to determine if dissimilar materials are compatible to the
substrates in the application.

SAFETY
• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow proper installation instructions
may result in the denial of warranty claims for operational or
performanceproblems.
• Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe
liftingtechniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause
serious injury.
• Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).
• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s
operating instructions.
• Use caution when working at elevated heights.
• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is
suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA
(www.epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission ofces
provide information regarding regulations and lead protection.
• WARNING: Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products
generates wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Use a respirator or other safeguards to avoid inhaling
wood dust.
