Thank you for choosing Andersen. Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.). 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. For installation methods not covered in this guide, (i.e. through jamb) please visit the Architect Detail File on the web (www.andersenwindows.com). Andersen has no responsibility in regard to the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Andersen products. 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. 1 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. Weight of window/door unit(s) and accessories will vary. Use a reasonable number of people with suffi cient strength to lift, carry, and install window and door unit(s) and accessories. Always use appropriate lifting techniques. 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. Andersen 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 infi ltration. 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. Andersen and Andersen WindowCare are registered trademarks of Andersen Corporation.

1. Prepare Rough Opening DO NOT install unit directly on masonry/concrete surface. Place a full length barrier (i.e. treated wood, tar paper, ice/water membrane) between unit sill and masonry/concrete surface. Failure to use barrier and sealing it to masonry/concrete surface and unit sill may result in product and/or property damage. Entire barrier must be sealed to masonry/concrete surface to help prevent water infiltration. Barrier thickness must not exceed 1/4. Determine rough opening width for multiple units using the formula, Rough Opening Width = 3/8 (shim) + total unit width dimensions + 3/16 per vertical narrow join + 3/8 (shim). Determine rough opening height for multiple units using the formula, Rough Opening Height = total unit height dimensions + 3/16 per horizontal narrow join + 1/2 (head clearance). Check sill plate for level. must be level, shim sill plate if necessary. Check rough opening for plumb and level. If rough opening is not plumb or level, correct as necessary. Check opening for square by measuring diagonally, upper left to lower right and upper right to lower left corner. If measurements are the same, opening is square. If rough opening is not square, correct as necessary.
