Tilt Window Sash Removal and Cleaning Instructions
1. Unlock the bottom sash and raise it a minimum
of 4”. Note: On double hung units, remove the
bottom sash first, then lower the top sash a
minimum of 4”.
2. Remove the sash by disengaging the tilt lock
from the jamb and tilting the top of the sash
down to a horizontal position. Lift or rotate one
side of the sash to disengage the tilt pin from the
pivot shoe assembly. Lift the other side of the
sash up and remove it from the window frame.
Note: Sash that are removed must go back into
the same frame from which it was removed.
3. Proceed with specified glass care and cleaning
instructions for the appropriate glass type in the
unit.

removed in the same fashion as the bottom sash
by repeating steps 1 and 2.
5. To reinstall sash, repeat the procedure in
reverse.
