rst consumer-owner of a Skylight made by Sun-Tek. B. Warranty Duration: This warranty shall remain in effect for a period of ve (5) years on Model SF and ten (10) years on all other Dura-Series models after the date the Skylight is purchased or
the date the skylight is delivered to the rst consumer-owner, whichever is later. One (1) year on electric components.
C. Warranty Application: This warranty applies only to the materials and fabrication of the Skylight and does not apply to any defect or damage caused by improper use, improper installation, improper care, shipping damage or accident. This warranty
does not cover any cosmetic changes in skylight, including but not limited to pitting, hazing, paint nish, discoloration. Condensation or damaged caused by condensation is not covered under this warranty. D. Performance by Sun-Tek: During the

be responsible for any costs of removal or re-installation. E. Validation Procedure: To obtain performance under this warranty, the purchaser must: (1) On installed skylights, contact Sun-Tek for instructions before removing skylight. Removal of skylight
from roof before inspection will void warranty. (2) Notify Sun-Tek in writing of any claim within thirty (30) days after the defect is discovered; (3) Sun-Tek or its authorized agents must examine high quality installed photographs of the subject skylight
and determine to its satisfaction whether the defect is covered by this warranty ; and (4) Present a copy of the receipt as proof of purchase. F. Implied Warranties: IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES PROVIDED HEREIN. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. G. Incidental or Consequential Damages: SUN-TEK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
TIME OR REVENUE, DAMAGE RESULTING TO OTHER PROPERTY OR OTHER EXPENSES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. H.

CLEANING YOUR SKYLIGHT:
Use a mild glass cleaner (such as Glass Plus) and a clean sponge or soft cloth. Fresh paint splashes, glazing compound, etc. may be removed before drying by rubbing lightly with a soft cloth or cotton ball
soaked in isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners, ammonia, benzene, gasoline, acetone, or carbon tetrachloride. Do not clean skylight in bright sun or high temperatures. Periodic
waxing with a high quality, non-abrasive wax such as Mirror-Glaze will help maintain the good looks of your skylight.
LIGHT TUNNEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For homes with an attic, it is necessary to build a tunnel between skylights and ceiling. The tunnel walls may be straight, or ared for extra light and architectural appeal. It’s very easy to increase the tunnel
size along the length of the ceiling joists. As long as no roof-supporting members are cut, no special framing is needed. While it is possible to are the tunnel in all directions, if support members are cut,
special framing will be required for structural support. In this case you must consult a qualied building professional to insure proper and safe results.
1 After roof and ceiling openings have been framed, measure distance (at each corner of roof opening) between rafter/truss and ceiling joist.
2 Using these four measurements, cut 2 x 4 lumber for vertical support members (two per corner).
3 In each corner, nail vertical support members into place at right angles to each other.
4 Measure, cut, and nail tunnel walls into place. Suggestions for lining tunnel:
- use drywall, tape corners, and paint white using regular or texture paint. (Texture paint alone will hide and ll untaped joints, but in time, cracks
may appear in corners.)
- use prenished paneling with molding in corners.
- line the tunnel with cedar, pine, or a wood to coordinate with your decor.
- for special effects, try painting the tunnel a striking accent color, or use mirrors or wallpaper on tunnel walls.
5 Caulk the slight gap between the tunnel walls and skylight base.
6 Finish off tunnel at ceiling with molding, or blend edges into ceiling with texture paint.
7 Be sure to wrap the exterior of the tunnel with insulation for energy savings.
