Interior Finishing:
Visible wood surfaces of Pella® products must be finished. Failure to do so voids the Limited Warranty. If products cannot
be finished immediately, cover with clear plastic film 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

For additional information on finishing see the Pella Owner’s Manual or go to www.pella.com.
Note: To maintain proper product performance do not paint, finish or remove the weather-stripping, mohair dust pads,
gaskets or vinyl parts. Air and water leakage will result if these parts are removed. If paint, stain or finish gets on the mohair
weather-stripping, immediately blot it thoroughly with a rag and allow it to dry. Flake off any remaining residue. After
finishing, allow windows to dry completely before closing them.
Pella Corporation is not responsible for finishing imperfections. Use of inappropriate finishes, solvents, brickwash or
cleaning chemicals will cause adverse reactions with window and door materials and voids the Limited Warranty.

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 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.
