CAUTION: Many doors in older homes are painted with lead-based paint. Removal of old doors may disturb this paint. Proper precautions must be taken to minimize exposure to dust and debris. Consult state or local authorities and/or go to www.epa.gov/lead for more information. WARNING: To ensure safety and security and help prevent property damage, including possible damage to your window or door, close and lock ! windows and doors any time they are not being used for venting on a nice day, and particularly during high winds or rain. IMPORTANT NOTICE 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’s 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 on 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’s installation instructions. Product modifications that are not approved by Pella Corporation will void the warranty. Care and Maintenance Care and maintenance information is available by contacting your local Pella retailer. This information is also available at www.pella.com. Cleaning Instructions GLASS—Remove any protective film and labels and clean the glass, using a soft, clean, grit-free cloth and mild soap or detergent. Be sure to remove all liquid by wiping dry or use a clean squeegee. FACTORY FINISHED PRODUCT: Pella Product that has been prefinished with stain or paint from the factory requires no additional finishing. Clean the surface with mild soap and water. PELLA® ALUMINUM CLAD OR IMPERVIA FRAMES: The interior and exterior frame and panels are protected with a tough factory finish. Clean this surface with mild soap and water. Stubborn stains and deposits may be removed with mineral spirits. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. ENCOMPASS BY PELLA®/THERMASTAR BY PELLA®, PELLA® 150 SERIES, PELLA® 250 SERIES AND PELLA® 350 SERIES DOOR FRAMES: The vinyl frame may be cleaned using the same method as the glass. For stubborn dirt, a “non-abrasive" cleaner such as Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub® may be used. Do not use solvents such as mineral spirits, toluene, xylene, naphtha or muriatic acid as they can dull the finish, soften the vinyl and/or cause failure of the insulated unit seal. Keep door tracks clear of dirt and debris. Keep weep holes open and clear of obstructions. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. Notice: DO NOT use inappropriate solvents or brickwash or cleaning chemicals. If you do, permanent damage can result and the product failure, loss or damage would not be covered by the Limited Warranty. Finishing Instructions (Wood Patio Doors and Fiberglass Entry Doors) Paint or finish immediately after installation. If products cannot be finished immediately, cover with clear plastic to protect from dirt, damage and moisture. Remove any construction residue before finishing. Sand all wood surfaces lightly with 180 grit or finer sandpaper. DO NOT use steel wool. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE GLASS. Remove sanding dust. Pella products must be finished according to these instructions; failure to follow these instructions voids the Limited Warranty. Finishing panel edges is optional for Patio Doors. Note: To maintain proper product performance do not paint, finish or remove the weatherstripping, mohair dust pads, gaskets or vinyl parts. Air and water leakage will result if these parts are removed. After finishing, allow venting Doors and doors to dry completely before closing them. If paint, stain or finish gets on the weatherstripping, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth. Panel Cleaning and Prep Instructions for Unfinished or Primed Panels: Dry wipe dust from doors gently. Examine door for possible smudges or fingerprints made from normal handling or construction. To remove smudges, lightly wipe surface with warm water. DO NOT sand surface of fiberglass panel. Scuff sand with light grade sand paper or abrasive pad (220 grit or higher). Rinse surface with mineral spirits for fiberglass panels and warm water for steel panels. Let door and sidelight surfaces dry completely before applying finish. Finish the door panels as soon as possible after installation. STAINING FIBERGLASS PANELS OR UNFINISHED INTERIOR FRAME MEMBERS: Fiberglass door and sidelight panels may be stained with a gel stain if a wood look is desired. Pella offers stain kits in a variety of colors. Apply and finish per the stain kit manufacturer’s instruction. Ensure that all exposed panel edges are finished to minimize the chance of damage. Unprimed interior frame parts may be stained with wood stains and should be finished with a minimum of two coats of a clear polyurethane finish. DO NOT bridge the top coat between the outer edge of the glazing frame and the door panel. NOTE: The fiberglass base color tone will vary. This variance is normal and will not impact the stain color of the door. PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS: Wood door frame exteriors, premium steel door panels and sidelights are factory primed. Wood doors require painting immediately after installation. The factory applied primer is not intended for long term exterior exposure. Sand all un-primed interior wood surfaces lightly with 180 grit or finer sandpaper before priming and painting. Fiberglass door and sidelight panels do not require priming. Use two coats of a 100% latex paint that has a good blocking resistance. On units with glass, do not bridge paint between the outer edges of the glazing frame and the door panel. On fiberglass products, brush the paint in the same direction as the simulated wood grain. For entry doors, ensure that all exposed panel edges are finished to minimize the chance of panel damage. Finishing panel edges is optional for Patio Doors. Pella Corporation is not responsible for interior paint and stain finish imperfections for any product that is not factory-applied by Pella Corporation. For additional information on finishing see the Pella Owner’s Manual or go towww.pella.com. The use of unapproved finishes, solvents or cleaning chemicals may cause adverse reactions with door materials. Pella will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of unapproved materials. If in doubt, contact your local retailer or representative. Exterior Finish of Existing Frame (Pocket Replacement) It is the responsibility of the homeowner, contractor or installer to ensure any exposed unfinished wood is covered or finished. Possible methods include, however are not limited to, covering with aluminum coil stock or painting.

This method of Full Frame Removal involves removing the sash and entire frame of the existing door from the wall. The resulting opening is the original rough opening. The existing door nailing fins are usually nailed to the studs in frame construction with siding, brick veneer or other exterior material applied over the fin on the outside. The interior may have a drywall return from the wall to the door frame.

TOOLS REQUIRED: • Utility knife • Pry bar • Hammer • Deglazing wheel • Angle Grinder with cutting wheel • Phillips and Standard screwdrivers • Reciprocating saw • Putty knife • Heat gun

REMEMBER TO USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. B APPLY ADHESIVE FILM OR DUCT TAPE TO THE GLASS TO PREVENT BREAKAGE.

A. Score the paint or varnish between the interior trim and the wall or between the drywall return and the door frame to minimize damage. B. Remove the interior trim.

To collapse aluminum frames follow steps C-M. To cut vinyl, clad wood, or aluminum frames out of the opening, see steps M and N.

E C. Score the sealant or paint between the exterior siding or brick and the door frame. F D. Remove the screen and vent panel from the old door. If it is not removable, see steps G-I. E. Remove the division bar or astragal (if applicable) by removing the screws at the ends or cutting it with a reciprocating saw. F. Remove the other panel. Remove any screws holding the fixed panel. Slide and lift out of the channel (sliding doors) or remove hinge screws or hinge pins (hinge doors). G. Remove any screws securing the frame or strikes to the opening. H I

For single pane doors with divided lights (grids): Use an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel to cut the end of the bars where they intersect with the sash or frame. This will allow the door glass to be removed more quickly. J. Heat the glazing seal using an electric heat gun. K. While applying heat, press a de-glazing wheel between the glass and J K sash or frame. Continue around the perimeter of the sash or panel. Apply light, constant pressure to separate the glass from the sash or frame. Dispose or recycle the glass properly. Note: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and keep the heat source away from flammable materials. L. Pry the frame away from the brick or siding. Use a block of wood under the pry bar to protect interior or exterior finishes. M. Cut through the frame using a reciprocating saw. Dispose or recycle K M the frame materials properly.

Pella® impact-resistant Products have been tested in accordance with the large missile impact testing requirements of ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996. Pella impact- resistant Products are neither hurricane proof nor are they shatter proof. Severe wind and rain may produce temporary conditions which exceed product performance standards. When these units are subjected to intense storms or extreme conditions, which exceed the intended design pressures, air, water and flying debris infiltration may occur. Advanced performance and impact-resistant require the use of installation clips or screws through the frame. The use of fins or brickmould is optional and will not affect anchorage requirements. Local building codes may have additional anchoring requirements. Units with Pella Enduraclad exterior trim with narrow fins and NO pre-punched holes must be anchored using frame screws or installation clips.

An "X" in the chart below indicates the fastener (row) to be used, under a specific installation method column. All fasteners marked with an "X" in an installation method column are necessary to meet documented performance values.

J. High Performance Doors only: Move the frame exterior vent plugs (white foam rods) from the head of the frame to the opposite side of the frame. A soap solution may be needed as a lubricant for re-installing the plugs.

Interior Sealant Instructions CAUTION: Use low pressure polyurethane door and door insulating foams. Follow the directions on the can. Do not use high pressure or latex foams. Interior A. Insert the nozzle or straw between the rough opening and door frame from the interior. Use a pliers (if necessary) to compress the end of a straw tube to allow it to fit in tight openings. B. Place a 1" deep bead of foam approximately 1" from the interior of the frame to allow for expansion. DO NOT fill the entire depth of the rough opening cavity. Note: Apply foam between the frame and rough opening, NOT between jamb extensions and the rough opening. C. To ensure a continuous interior seal, apply sealant over the interior surface of any shims or clips interrupting the foam seal. Backer rod (as necessary) and sealant can be used in place of the low expansion foam to create the interior seal. However, foam has greater insulating properties. Fiberglass batt or similar insulation is not recommended as it can absorb water and does not act as an air seal. D. Place a continuous bead of sealant across the inner sill at the intersection of the door sill and subfloor. Continue the sealant 6" up each jamb. Note: Use a low odor, paintable sealant such as Pella Door and Door Installation Sealant. 6" Re-check door operation after foam installation. Excess foam may be removed with a serrated knife after it cures.

Exterior Sealant Instructions CAUTION: Use a high quality, multi-purpose exterior sealant such as Pella Door and Door Installation Sealant. Follow the directions on the cartridge. When applying siding, brick veneer , flashing, or other exterior finish materials, leave adequate space between the door frame and the material for sealant application of sealant.

A. Insert backer rod 3/8" deep in the space around the door. Backer rod adds shape and controls the depth of the sealant line.

B. Apply a continuous bead of sealant to the entire perimeter of the door.

C. Shape, tool and clean excess sealant. When finished, the sealant should be the shape of an hourglass.
