Las instrucciones son para construcción nueva en paredes con marco de madera que cuentan con protección contra la intemperie.
Es posible que las instrucciones no sean las adecuadas para todas las instalaciones debido al diseño del edificio, los materiales de construcción o los
métodos utilizados, y/o las condiciones de la obra o el edificio. Consulte a un constructor o arquitecto para obtener recomendaciones.
Las bridas de instalación en la unidad no proporcionarán por sí mismas un flashing ni sellarán la ventana o la puerta de manera adecuada. Siga las
siguientes instrucciones cuidadosamente.
Si tiene alguna pregunta llame al 1-888-888-7020.
Debido a los cambios continuos de los productos, los resultados de los exámenes actualizados y las mejores prácticas de la industria, este procedimiento de

Important code and installation information. / Información importante sobre normas e instalación.
Read guide from beginning to end before starting installation. Read all warnings and cautions before unit installation.
Check with your local building code official to identify and confirm compliance with local building code requirements.
This installation guide covers both barrier and drainage flashing methods. Decide whether you are using the barrier or drainage method before
installing the product. The appropriate method for your installation may vary based on building design, application and industry practices.
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 windows and doors with impact resistant glass is as important to product performance as the glass.
Flanges on the unit alone will not properly flash and seal the window. Follow these instructions carefully.
Lee la guía de principio a fin antes de comenzar la instalación. Lee todas las advertencias y precauciones antes de instalar la unidad.
Consulta y confirma con el funcionario local correspondiente si cumple con los requisitos de las normas de construcción.
Esta guía de instalación abarca tanto los métodos de barrera como los de flashing de drenaje. Decida si va a aplicar el método de barrera o el de
drenaje antes de instalar el producto. El método apropiado para su instalación puede variar según el diseño del edificio, la aplicación y las prácticas de
la industria.
Información importante acerca de la seguridad, el ensamblaje y la instalación: el vidrio resistente a los golpes utilizado por Andersen no es a prueba de
huracanes ni irrompible, y es posible que no proporcione un alto nivel de seguridad. La instalación adecuada de las ventanas y puertas con vidrio resistente
a los golpes es tan importante para el rendimiento del producto como el vidrio.
Las bridas en la unidad no proporcionarán por sí mismas un flashing ni sellarán la ventana de manera adecuada. Siga las siguientes
instrucciones cuidadosamente.
