These instructions were tested and developed for replacing windows in wood-frame wall construction systems designed to manage moisture. This method of installation involves removing the sash, frame stops and frame hardware from the existing window. The original window frame will remain in place. If the existing window frame shows signs of water infiltration or is damaged beyond repair, this method should not be followed and the entire existing window should

be removed. Installation recommendations for other types of wall construction, wall systems, conditions, multiple windows or bow/bay windows, may be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella retailer. Building designs, construction methods, building materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method different from these instructions and additional care on your part. Determining the appropriate installation method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or other construction professional.
