Use And Care Manual

Recommended Routine Cleaning for Low-E Glass Models:
Clean the glass with plain water, using a clean soft sponge or lint-free cloth to remove as much
surface grime from the glass as possible. If needed, wash the surface of the glass again with a
solution of 80% water and 20% vinegar with a clean soft lint-free cloth. Dry with a new soft cloth.
Cleaning may cause streaks when dried if the glass is exceptionally dirty. In this case repeat the
above steps.
NOTE:
• Care must be exercised when using rubber squeegees on the coated surface, as they can leave
streaks that are hard to remove if they are used incorrectly or are in poor condition.
• Never use ANY type of scraper or abrasive cleaner on the coated surface. Particles from these
materials can be deposited on the coated surface and are very difficult to remove.
• For unusually hard to remove spots such as crayon or grease, isopropyl alcohol or GoofOff
®
may
be used. After spot cleaning, the full glass surface should be cleaned as discussed above.

STORM DOOR GENERAL CARE & MAINTENANCE
FULL-VIEW
Glass
Wash using household glass cleaner or a warm water/mild detergent mixture and a soft cloth
or paper towel. A solution of four parts water/one part vinegar may also be used.
Door Finish
For general cleaning use the following:
• Liquid soap and water solution
• Formula 409
®
, Windex
®
, Fantastik
®
, Simple Green
®
or similar product
Always follow manufacturer's directions. Using a soft, clean cloth, apply the cleaner and clean only
a small portion of the surface. After cleaning, rinse the surface completely. Never use acetone or
products containing esters, ethers, ketones, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Hinges and
Hardware
Hinges and door hardware may require occasional lubrication. A silicone spray lubricant or Lithium-
based oil is recommended.
Brass/Nickel Expanders
Wash expander using a warm water/mild detergent mixture and a soft cloth. Do not use a brass
cleaner or steel wool.
Brass Finish Products
A number of storm door models incorporate high quality brass component parts. As with all brass
products, tarnishing will occur. Without proper care, brass can become stained so heavily that
cleaning cannot totally remove the stain. In extreme cases of neglect, pitting can occur.
Brass Locksets
Brass Deadbolts
Cleaning
1. Wash brass hardware using a warm water/mild detergent mixture and a soft cloth. Do not
use abrasive cleaners or cloths as they may damage the clear coat finish.
2. Apply non-abrasive paste wax on the brass hardware to help protect its bright finish.
Refinishing (if clear coat is damaged and tarnish has occurred)
1. Remove the tarnished hardware from the door.
2. Remove damaged clear coat. This can be done by using a paint stripper or by lightly
rubbing the hardware using #0000 steel wool. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when using a stripper.
Note: If refinishing keyed hardware, cover the key opening with masking tape to keep out
stripper or steel wool particles.
3. Once the clear coat is removed, continue to lightly rub with #0000 steel wool over
tarnished areas until the bright brass finish returns.
4. Clean the brass using a brass cleaner (i.e. Brasso
®
, Tarni-Shield
®
) per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Apply a new clear coat finish. For best results, a clear lacquer spray is recommended.
The lacquer can be purchased at most hardware stores and should be applied per the
manufacturer’s instructions. Note: If refinishing keyed hardware, cover the key opening
with masking tape when applying the lacquer finish.
6. Reinstall the hardware on the door.
