By installing this product, you are acknowledging that this Limited Warranty is part of the terms of 

the sale. Failure to comply with all Pella installation and maintenance instructions may void your

These instructions were tested and developed for replacing windows in wood-frame wall 

construction systems designed to manage moisture. 

This method of installation involves 

removing the sash only of the existing window. The original window frame will remain 

in place and only the existing sash, exterior stops and frame hardware must be removed. 

Installation recommendations for other types of wall construction, wall systems or conditions may 

be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella retailer. Building designs, construction methods, 

building materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method 

different from these instructions and additional care on your part. Determining the appropriate 

installation method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or other construction professional.

REMEMBER TO USE APPROPRIATE 

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

CAUTION:

 Many windows in older 

homes are painted with lead-based 

paint. Removal of old windows may
