Assemble Frame(s)
Carefully remove panels and
frames from the packaging. Do not
mix panels or frames from other
windows. All frame pieces are
labeled (top, bottom, right, left).
Set all frames on floor face up.

Position the left frame and the top
frame onto a flat surface (small wood
block is recommended to prevent
damage to floor and to ensure a
flush fit by the Hoffman Key) and
line up the Hoffman key.

side to it. The rounded side goes in face up.
Repeat this step for remaining
corners to complete the 4 sided
