A.Apply insulating foam sealant. From the

interior, insert the nozzle of the applicator

into the space between the door and the rough

opening approximately 1” past the edge of the frame (and past the jamb extensions) and apply a 1" deep bead of foam. This will allow room for expansion of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. If using insulating foam other than Great Stuff ™ Window and Door Insulation Foam by the Dow Chemical Company, allow the foam to cure completely (usually 8 to 24

hours) before proceeding to the next step.

Note: DO NOT place any foam between jamb extensions and the rough opening.

B.Check the door operation by opening and closing the door.

Note: If the door does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level, square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam with a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.

C.Add a sealant bead across the inner sill and 6” up each jamb between the frame and rough opening.

For added convenience and security, the Pella 818L0100 features multi-point locking systems that offer improved protection against potential break-ins. The integrated features do not compromise the window's elegant design, blending seamlessly into any architectural style.

The ease of operation is another characteristic of this window model. Available in various configurations, including casement, double-hung, and sliding styles, it caters to different preferences and functional needs.
