Frame Assembly and Installation Guide for Andersen 400 ...

“Andersen”, and “Andersen WindowCare” are registered trademarks of Andersen Corporation. All other marks where denoted are marks of Andersen Corporation. ©2003-2005 Andersen Corporation. All rights reserved. Instruction Guide 0005350 Revised 05/02/05

Weight of window/door unit(s) and accessories will vary. Use a reasonable number of people with sufficient strength to lift, carry, and install window and door unit(s) and accessories. Always use appropriate lifting techniques.

Using ladders and/or scaffolding and working at elevated levels may be hazardous. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for safe operation. Use extreme caution when working around window and door openings. Falling from opening may result in personal injury or death.

Improper use of hand/power tools could result in personal injury and/or product damage. Follow manufacturer's instructions for safe operation of equipment. Always wear safety glasses.

Impact Resistant Glass used by Andersen is not hurricane proof or shatter proof, and may not offer a high level of security. Proper installation of window and door units with impact resistant glass is as important to product performance as the glass. Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.), and Andersen strongly recommends consultation with an Andersen supplier or an experienced contractor, architect, or structural engineer prior to the assembly and installation of any Andersen product. Andersen has no responsibility in regard to the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Andersen products.

Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the many fine Andersen® products. Proper assembly, installation and maintenance are essential if the benefits of your Andersen product are to be fully attained. Therefore, please read and follow this Instruction Guide completely. If your abilities do not match this procedure’s requirements, contact an experienced contractor. You may direct any questions about this or other products to your local Andersen dealer, found in the Yellow Pages under “Windows” or call Andersen WindowCare® service center at 1-888-888-7020 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. Thank you for choosing Andersen.

• Andersen® Head Flashing and Installation Flanges DO NOT take the place of standard window and door flashing. Unit must be properly flashed and sealed with silicone for protection against water and air infiltration. Use non-reflective flashings. Highly reflective flashing tapes can raise the surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl deformation and product damage may occur.

• Do not apply any type of film to glass. Thermal stress conditions resulting in glass damage could occur.

• Use of movable insulating materials such as window coverings, shutters, and other shading devices may damage glass and/or vinyl. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.

Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows and doors are not equipped with safety glass, and if broken, could fragment causing injury. Many laws and building codes require safety glass in locations adjacent to or near doors. Andersen windows are available with safety glass that may reduce the likelihood of injury when broken. Information on safety glass is available from your local Andersen dealer.
