Note: To maintain proper product performance do not paint, finish or remove the weather-stripping, mohair
dust pads, gaskets or vinyl parts. Air and water leakage will result if these parts are removed. After finishing,
allow venting windows and doors to dry completely before closing them.
Pella Corporation is not responsible for interior paint and stain finish imperfections for any product that is not

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 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 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 installation instructions.
Product modifications that not approved by Pella Corporation will void the Limited Warranty.
