Use and Care Manual

Polished Chrome or Brushed Chrome
• Wash hardware using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners,
pads, or brushes.
• Polish chrome finishes using a commercially available chrome polish following
manufacturer’s instructions.
Oil-Rubbed Bronze or Distressed Bronze
• Handling and frequent use create the bronze patina that is the hallmark of
the oil-rubbed bronze and distressed bronze finishes. Oil-rubbed bronze and
distressed bronze are “living finishes” with no protective coating. With use,
your hands will polish away the darker material exposing the bronze beneath.
The appearance of these finishes will vary depending on usage and
environmental conditions.
• Occasionally apply light mechanic oil to deepen the color and sheen of the
product. Cover metal parts with oil entirely, allow the oil to stand for a few
minutes, then gently rub off excess using a clean cloth.

Simple Adjustments
Your Andersen
®
patio door is designed to give you years of trouble-free operation.
The following steps will help you get the best performance and the longest service
from your patio door.
Adjusting Your Patio Door
If the operating panel moves stiffly, it may be dragging slightly
because the door is out of adjustment. To adjust it, remove
the caps located on the interior bottom rail of the door, insert
a flat blade screwdriver, and turn the screwdriver clockwise
to raise the panel, or counterclockwise to lower the panel
(Fig. 6). Move one notch at a time, checking the door’s
operation as you go. Close the panel to within one inch of the side jamb and check
for uniform opening from top to bottom. Replace caps when adjustment is complete.
After adjusting the rollers for operation and checking for an even reveal, you may
need to adjust the latch receiver. The reachout lock mechanism is designed to pull
the operating panel into the weatherstripping for optimal contact.
Close the operating panel slowly. When the pin on the
receiver makes contact with the button on the deadlock,
slowly turn the inside thumb latch to the lock position (Fig. 7).
The latch should engage the latch receiver smoothly and
pull the panel into the side jamb for a snug fit.
To adjust the fit, use a small flat blade screwdriver to
turn the adjustment screw on the latch receiver (Fig. 8).
Turn the screw counterclockwise toward the “in” position
for a tighter fit, or clockwise toward the “out” position
for a looser fit.
