DOES IT FIT?

Carefullyliftthetreatmentassembly andplace overthe window.
The frame shouldfit snugly overthe entire windowframe against the
door. Lookfor anythingthatwill preventa flushfitor keepthe treatment
fromfunctioning.Set theassembly down, standingitupright.

DOOR HARDWARE INTERFERENCE

If your door hardware is located close to your door glass frame,
you could encounter interference with the fit of your Enclosed
Treatment Unit. To avoid this interference simply remove the filler
strip located on that side of the Enclosed Treatment frame. This
will allow the escutcheon plate on your door hardware to slip
underneath the Enclosed Treatment frame. If the tabs on the
frame (used to hold the filler strip on the frame) are in the way,
you can simply clip them off with pliers.

If you have a lever door handle and the handle extends over your door glass / door glass frame, the Enclosed
Treatment unit may not fit. This interference issue is common with lever arm handles and window treatments.
In order to make the Enclosed Treatment unit fit you will either have to change your door knob so that it does
not extend over the door glass frame, or purchase a lever door handle extender.

LOOSEN SCREWS AND INSERT SPACERS

Loosen frame screws at the top and bottom corners (some snap
frame windows do not have screws). If the screws on your window
have plugs over them and do not easily come out, use a wood screw
and turn it into the plug. Turn the wood screw into the plug until it
comes out. Push spacers in behind the lower corners of the frame,
(approximately 14" up from the bottom for the 36" unit, 11 1/2" up
from the bottom for the 64" unit) until tab is flush with the frame.
Tighten bottom screws.

PREVENTING CONDENSATION

Interior condensation is caused by excess humidity in your
home. Enclosed Treatments do not cause condensation, but
are a good indicator of humidity levels that are too high.
Keep in mind thatnewhomes release moisture fromconstruction
materials through several heating and cooling sessions.
To the right is a quick guide to appropriate humidity levels:

If your door glass has interior condensation, you should be
able to control it by reducing the humidity level in your home
(for example you could reduce or eliminate humidifiers).
You can also help limit the potential for condensation by removing the filler strips located on the sides of your Enclosed
Treatment frame (see step 1 for removal instructions). By removing these filler strips you will increase the airflow between the
enclosed treatment unit and your door glass.

Condensation does not indicate a defect in an Enclosed Treatment unit and will not damage your Enclosed Treatment unit.
