NANAWALL WD66 OWNER’S MANUAL

See Finishing Recommendations in the Owner’s
Manual of the wood systems.
9. All hardware, hinges and handles should be
periodically cleaned with a soft cloth and mild
cleanser. Excessive abrasive rubbing should be
avoided. Please note that oil rubbed brass is a finish
that will develop its own unique patina over time.
10. About every six months, apply lubricant to all the
hinges and Teflon spray to the running carriages and
guiding trolleys.
SOME SPECIFIC SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE
FOR COASTAL SALT WATER AND OTHER
EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS:
Please note that the environment within one mile of a
sea coast can be extremely corrosive. Products installed
in this environment will typically deteriorate sooner than
products installed in a less severe environment.
1. Open and close completely a unit at least once a
week and inspect all surfaces.
a. Salt and other corrosive or abrasive materials
such as sand must not be allowed to build up on
any surfaces, including all hardware and sill.
b. The sill and head jamb tracks should be free from
all dirt and debris.
c. There should be no standing water in the track
in the sill.
d. All hardware should be intact and operating
properly.
2. All surfaces must be cleaned with a mild detergent
soap and fresh water at least every month and more
frequently if necessary.
a. After washing, the surface should be rinsed
thoroughly with clean water and allowed to dry.
b. For cleaning, do not use abrasive household
cleaners or materials like steel wool or hard
brushes that can wear and harm finishes.
c. Any glass cleaner used should not be allowed to
run down on any other surface.
3. Any breaches in the paint coating, such as scratches,
chips or areas of abrasion, must be repaired
immediately.
4. Every 3 months, thoroughly clean and dry all upper
and lower rollers and all hinges. Liberally apply
lubricant such as Teflon spray (no grease) on the
wheels and bearings of the rollers. Oil all hinges
including the hinge pin with light weight lubricating
oil or Teflon spray.
5. As with any painted surface exposed to corrosive
environments, every 6 months apply a wax to the
outside of the painted panel and painted track. If the
system includes corner connections make sure the
wax penetrates the connection joints.
