Care and Maintenance

Door Cleaning

Glass Cleaning

Use a soft cloth with any household grease-cutting cleaner to clean the door.

PLEASE NOTE: Thin marks on the painted surfaces of the door can be removed using turpentine and light rubbing with a clean cloth.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use brass polish or steel wool on the bottom expander - - Use a household grease-cutting cleaner or a mild soap and water solution.

PLAIN GLASS

Models with decorative glass - follow instructions below.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT use an ammonia-based cleaner for the rst cleaning of the glass.

FIRST CLEANING: Use a mixture of one part vinegar with four parts water to remove the protective coating (for shipping purposes) from the glass.

ROUTINE CLEANING: Use any household glass cleaner.

DECORATIVE STAINED GLASS (If included with your model)

ONE-OF-A-KIND ORIGINALS The stained glass on your Pella® panel is hand crafted. Slight imperfections or variation of color are normal. No two glass panels are exactly alike.

CLEANING THE STAINED GLASS Use a household glass cleaner or mild soap and water to clean the stained glass.

DECORATIVE CAMING (If included with your model)

The glass is hand crafted with decorative caming. Use a household glass cleaner or mild soap and water to clean the caming.

For Bright Brass and Satin Nickel caming ONLY:

You may use a quality brass polish or brass cleaner. Follow the product’s directions and carefully wipe down the caming. Be sure to wipe all of the cleaner from the glass. Use a toothbrush to carefully remove any cleaner from between the caming edges and the glass. Cleaning may also be done by using #0000 steel wool. Carefully rub down the caming with light even strokes - avoid touching the glass with the steel wool.

PLEASE NOTE: For brass handle cleaning, see “Cleaning & Renishing” below.

Handle Cleaning

Cleaning & Renishing Damaged Brass

BRASS & OTHER METALLIC HANDLES

Routine Cleaning: Use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean the surfaces. Apply a high quality, non-abrasive automobile wax to polish.

Note: DO NOT use ammonia-based cleaners on brass or other metallic nish handles.

If your Pella® door includes a solid brass handle, the brass is polished and sealed with a clear coating by the manufacturer. Should the ﬁnish be accidentally damaged by an abrasive or sharp object, it will succumb to a natural oxidation process that occurs when the elements contact unprotected brass. Brass has an enduring quality, in that it can be refurbished to its original polished ﬁnish again and again by using a quality brass polish and a soft cloth. Do not clean the bottom expander in this manner - see door cleaning above.

1. Remove the hardware from the door so the ﬁnish of the door will not be affected. See the hardware instructions for removal. NOTE: you may be able to leave the hardware in place on the door when polishing the handle only – make certain to

completely mask off all areas around the handle before starting. If polishing the key cylinder, protect the internal mechanism by covering the opening with tape.

2. Use a quality brass polish or cleaner to clean the brass - follow the product’s directions and cautions. Note: Firm rubbing may

be necessary to loosen the coating on the brass.

3. Reseal the brass per instructions below. a. Use the properties from the brass polish you used to clean the brass. (Easiest method, but requires more frequent polishing.) b. Apply a high quality, non-abrasive, polymer-based automobile wax to seal the surface. c. Apply a new clear coat with a clear lacquer spray - follow the product’s directions. (Most difﬁcult, but lasts the longest.)

PLEASE NOTE: If you removed the hardware from the door, lubricate any internal workings with a spray lubricant. Re-install the

hardware on the door. See the hardware instructions for installation.

Pella® Storm Doors Limited Warranty

Congratulations on choosing a Pella storm door to protect and beautify your home. This superior quality door has been designed to give you years of trouble-free service, and you are protected by this limited warranty:

Pella warrants to the ORIGINAL HOMEOWNER PURCHASER of this storm door that it will, without charge to the purchaser, provide parts or exchange, at its option, any door determined to be defective in material or workmanship for 20 years after the purchase date. The purchaser will be responsible for transportation charges. Should the door be determined to be defective in material or workmanship AFTER 20 years from the purchase date, the original purchaser may buy one new Pella storm door at 50% of the then- current manufacturer’s suggested list price for as long as the original purchaser owns the home on which the door was installed. The purchase must be made directly from the factory, and all transportation charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Should the door be determined to be defective and the purchaser incurs a reinstallation cost within three years of the purchase date, he or she may be reimbursed for these costs up to a maximum of $25.00, upon furnishing a copy of the invoice for the reinstallation costs.

As a condition of this warranty, it is required that the door be used for residential use only in an owner-occupied home, that it be installed properly as an operating door according to manufacturer’s instructions, and that it not be altered in any way. For multi-unit housing applications, ask your dealer for a copy of the appropriate warranty or phone Pella’s Customer Service Department at the phone number listed below. This warranty is not transferable.

To make a claim under this warranty, you should:

a) Call our Customer Service Department at 1-888-646-5354 or write to Pella Warranty Service; 2333 Eastbrook Drive; Brookings, SD 57006 USA. b) Furnish the original or a copy of the sales receipt or other documents showing the original purchase date and that you are the original purchaser of this door. Exchange is limited to supplying a replacement door of comparable size, style, and color and does not include any cost of removal or installation except as noted

above.

The warranty on the latch set and air closer is one year, and any labor charges are not covered. This warranty excludes all damage to glass and screen. This warranty does not cover problems caused by improper storage, handling, installation, use, modiﬁcation, or maintenance, by Acts of God or by accidents, including accidental glass breakage. It does not apply to normal wear or discoloration of ﬁnish; ﬁnish problems caused by mechanical damage or abrasion; normal effects of sun and weather, including acid rain, salt spray, or other corrosive elements; damage caused by severe wind; or damage caused by customer abuse or neglect. Oil-Rubbed Bronze is a living ﬁnish that will develop its own unique patina with use and is not covered under the Lifetime Finish Guarantee. Bright Brass, Antique Brass, Brushed Brass and Satin Nickel hardware is guaranteed not to tarnish and carries a lifetime ﬁnish warranty for as long as the purchaser owns their home.

THIS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ALL INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Nothing in this document shall give rise to or extend the period of any warranties implied under state or provincial law, and no implied warranty shall extend beyond the periods covered by this written warranty. Neither Pella Corporation nor any seller of Pella products will be responsible for incidental or consequential damages which may result from a product defect or malfunction. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you speciﬁc legal rights, and you may have additional rights which vary from state to state. Effective 7/2006.
