SILICONE
LUBRICANT SPRAY
You may use silicone lubricant spray on the frame in order to help
you slide the panels into the profiles. Do not spray the panels.
Use a rubber mallet if necessary.
Make sure you remove covering plastic film from both sides
of the panel.
All panels with the stamped words “THIS SIDE OUT” must be
facing out to create full UV protection. Remove plastic sticker
as panels are locked in place.
This icon indicates that the installer should be inside
the product.
This icon indicates that the installer should be outside
