Note: To maintain proper product performance do not paint, finish or remove the weather-stripping, 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.

Pella Corporation is not responsible for interior paint and stain finish imperfections for any product that is not factory-applied by Pella Corporation. Use of inappropriate finishes, solvents, brickwash, or cleaning chemicals will cause adverse reactions with window and door materials and voids the Limited Warranty.

For additional information on finishing see the Pella Owner’s Manual or go to www.pella.com.

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.

The determination of the suitability of all building components, including the use of Pella products, as well as the design and installation of flashing and sealing systems are the responsibility of the Buyer or User, the architect, contractor, installer, or other construction professional and are not the responsibility of Pella.

Pella products should not be used in barrier wall systems which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall systems, such as barrier Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, (EIFS) (also known as synthetic
