Condensation on the prime window or patio door glass is the natural result of excess moisture in the air and does not indicate a faulty installation. Changes in temperature and humidity may create temporary conditions of condensation.
The manufacturer cannot make any guarantees regarding condensation.

The most common causes of ice forming on the inside of your window are air leakage and too much humidity in the home. When cold air enters the home and meets the warm air within, water vapor forms, which freezes and forms ice crystals when the temperature drops below the dew point. Frost occuring on the outside of your window is often caused by the same issues listed above.
First, determine if the issue is caused by humidity or an air leak. An air leak may be caused by poor insulation around the window frame, and can be remedied by sealing the leak. To reduce humidity within your home, run a dehumidifier to balance humidity levels, run an exhaust fan when cooking or showering, install a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) to circulate air, and turn up the heat in your home.
Consider weatherizing your windows, and leave your curtains open, as they can trap moisture against the glass, causing more frost. Run your ceiling fans in revers setting (slow, clockwise) to raise warm air to the ceiling, helping to circulate warm air throughout the room.
