THE  VINYL  SIDING  INSTITUTE’S  IMPORTANT  FIRE  SAFETY 
INFORMATION STATEMENT IS AS FOLLOWS:
Exterior vinyl building materials require little maintenance for many 
years.  Nevertheless,  common  sense  dictates  that  builders  and 
suppliers of vinyl products store, handle and install vinyl materials 
in  a  manner  that  avoids  damage  to  the  product  and/or  structure. 
Owners and Installers should take a few simple steps to protect vinyl 
building materials from fire.
TO HOME AND BUILDING OWNERS:
Rigid  vinyl  siding  is  made  from  organic  materials  and  will  melt  or 
burn when exposed to a significant source of flame or heat. Building 
owners,  occupants  and  outside  maintenance  personnel  should 
always  take  normal  precautions  to  keep  sources  of  fire,  such  as 
barbeques, and combustible materials, such  as dry leaves, mulch 
and trash, away from vinyl siding.
TO THE BUILDING TRADES, SPECIFIERS, PROFESSIONALS AND 
DO-IT-YOURSELF INSTALLERS:
When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flame, the 
vinyl will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material 
underneath.  Care  must  be  exercised  prior  to  installation  when 
selecting  underlayment  materials  because  many  underlayment 
materials  are  made  from  organic  materials.  All  building  materials 
should  be  installed  in  accordance  with  local,  state,  and  Federal 
building codes and fire regulations.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While  ABTCO  vinyl  siding  remains  virtually  maintenance-free, 
it  will  become  dirty  as  any  other  product  which  is  exposed  to 
atmospheric conditions. Normally, your ABTCO vinyl siding can be 
cleaned satisfactorily through the use of an  ordinary garden  hose. 
If  stubborn  stains  cannot  be  removed  with  water,  the  following 
procedure should be used:
1. Equip the garden hose with a soft-bristled, long handle car brush.
2.  Where  soil  is  of  a  stubborn  nature,  the  following  cleaning 
solution works well:
- 1/3 cup household detergent
- 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate
- 1 gallon water
In  certain  geographic  areas  where  mildew  may  be  a  problem, 
substitute  one  quart  of  5%  sodium  hypochloride  (household 
bleach) for one quart water in the above formula. Where the house 
is  extremely  dirty,  it  is  recommended  that  you  start  washing  from 
the bottom and go to the top, rinsing frequently. Cleaning solutions 
should be permitted to stand on the surface of the siding for several 
minutes before rinsing.
All questions concerning the meaning or applicability of this limited 
warranty  are  to  be  decided  under  the  law  of  the  State  of  Oregon 
without reference to its choice-of-law rules.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have 
other rights which vary from state to state.
