Use and Care Manual
If the insect screen operates stiffly, make sure the rollers
are properly seated on the guide. If the bottom appears
to be dragging, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the
adjusting holes on the inside bottom rail, and turn the
screwdriver to raise or lower the screen (Fig. 3).
Close the insect screen to within one inch of the side jamb,
and make sure the opening is uniform from top to bottom.
If you need to replace the insect screen, call your local
Andersen retailer to order a rescreening kit.
Cleaning Inside Head Stop and Track
For long-term ease of operation,
clean the inside head stop and track
of your door. Do not use lubricants
on the track itself; this will cause the
rollers to slide, not roll (Fig. 4 & 5).
Maintaining Andersen
