conditions. Consult a contractor or architect for recommendations.
Flanges on the unit alone will not properly flash and seal the window. Follow these instructions carefully.

▶ ▶ Important▶Safety,▶Assembly,▶and▶Installation▶Information: Impact Resistant Glass used by Andersen is not hurricane proof or shatter proof,
and may not offer a high level of security. Proper installation of window and door units with impact resistant glass is as important to product
performance as the glass.
Use caution when working at elevated
heights and around unit openings. Follow
manufacturers' instructions for ladders and/or
scaffolding. Failure to do so may result in injury
or death.
Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows and doors are not equipped with safety glass, and if broken, could fragment causing injury. Many laws and
building codes require safety glass in locations adjacent to or near doors. Andersen windows are available with safety glass that may reduce the likelihood
of injury when broken. Information on safety glass is available from your local Andersen dealer.
• Andersen Head Flashing and Installation Flanges DO NOT take the place of standard window and door flashing. Unit must be properly flashed and
®
sealed with silicone for protection against water and air infiltration. Use non-reflective flashings. Highly reflective flashing tapes can raise the
surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl deformation and product damage may occur.
• Do not apply any type of film to glass. Thermal stress conditions resulting in glass damage could occur.
• Use of movable insulating materials such as window coverings, shutters, and other shading devices may damage glass and/or vinyl. In addition,
excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.

Follow manufacturers' instructions for hand
or power tools. Always wear safety glasses.
Failure to do so may result in injury and/or
product damage.
Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe
lifting techniques and a reasonable number
of people with enough strength to lift, carry
and install window and door products to
avoid injury and/or product damage.
