Care and maintenance information is available in the Pella Owner’s Manual. You can 

obtain an owner’s manual by contacting your local Pella retailer. This information is also 

available on www.pella.com.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Because all construction must anticipate some water infiltration, it is important that the wall 

system be designed and constructed to properly manage moisture. Pella Corporation is not 

responsible for claims or damages caused by anticipated and unanticipated water infiltration; 

deficiencies in building design, construction and maintenance; failure to install Pella products 

in accordance with Pella’s installation instructions; or the use of Pella products in wall 

systems which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall systems. 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 stucco) or other non-water managed systems. Except 
in the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, 

Pella makes no 

warranty of any kind on and assumes no responsibility for Pella windows and doors installed 

in barrier wall systems. In the states listed above, the installation of Pella Products in barrier 

wall or similar systems must be in accordance with Pella’s installation instructions.

Product modifications that are not approved by Pella Corporation will void the Limited 

Warranty.
