2PREPARE THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION

A.Remove the plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from the door.

Note: If screens, grilles or hardware are removed from the door at this time, label them and store them in a protected area.

B.Remove the shipping spacers. Carefully slide the movable panel halfway open and remove the spacers from both the top and bottom of the movable panel.

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL & FRAME SAFELY.

C. Remove the venting panel by lifting it out of the lower track and tilting the bottom of the panel away from the door frame. Then, lower the panel out of the top track. Carefully set the panel aside.

Note: Assemble the OXXO frame per the instructions included with the door splice kit.

D. Fold out installation fin to 90°. Be careful not to remove or tear the fin corners.

Note: If the fin is not at 90°, the door will not line up correctly on the interior.

3SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR

A.Place three 3/8" beads of sealant. The first bead should be approximately 3/4" from the exterior of the rough opening, the second 2-1/2" in from the first bead of sealant. Place a third bead of sealant in the groove of the sill support or 1/4" from the exterior edge of the wood blocking.

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

B.Insert the door from the exterior of the building. DO NOT slide the bottom of the

door into the opening. Sliding will damage the sealant lines. Place the bottom of the

 

door at the bottom of the opening, then tilt the top into position. Center the door

 

between the sides of the opening to allow equal clearance for shimming, and insert

Î

one roofing nail in the first hole from the corner on each end of the top nailing fin.

 

These are used to hold the door in place while shimming it plumb and square.

Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are folded out to 90° at all points.
