INTERIOR FINISH

If products cannot be finished immediately, cover with clear plastic to protect from dirt, damage and moisture. Remove any construction residue before finishing. Sand all wood surfaces lightly with 180 grit or finer sandpaper. DO NOT use steel wool. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE GLASS. Remove sanding dust.

Pella products must be finished per the below instruction; failure to follow these instructions voids the Limited Warranty.

• On casement and awnings, it is optional to paint, stain or finish the vertical and horizontal sash edges.

On single-hung and double-hung, do not paint, stain or finish the vertical sash edges, any finish on the vertical sash edges may cause the sash to stick; it is optional to paint, stain or finish the horizontal sash edges.

On patio doors, it is optional to paint, stain or finish the vertical and horizontal panel edges.

Note: To maintain proper product performance do not paint, finish or remove the weather-strip- ping, mohair dust pads, gaskets or vinyl parts. Air and water leakage will result if these parts are removed. After finishing, allow venting windows and doors to dry completely before closing them.

EXTERIOR FINISH

The exterior frame and sash are protected by aluminum cladding with our tough EnduraClad® or EnduraClad Plus baked-on factory finish that needs no painting. Clean this surface with mild soap and water. Stubborn stains and deposits may be removed with mineral spirits. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface.

Use of inappropriate finishes, solvents, brickwash or cleaning chemicals will cause adverse reactions with window and door materials and voids the Limited Warranty.
