Use of the ventilation flap
To enjoy fresh air even when the win dow is fully closed, pull the control bar lightly downwards to open the ventila tion flap. The window will remain locked, but air can enter the room through a built-in air filter that keeps out dust, insects and driving snow.

Cleaning the pane
Clean the pane with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth/chamois leather/nonabrasive sponge or a clean, non-metal window squeegee. Clean water will normally be sufficient for cleaning the pane. Ordinary, non-abrasive household cleaners can also be used. Soft water is best for cleaning panes. Therefore, in hard-water areas add a small amount of detergent to soften the water or wipe off all excess water after cleaning.

Warning

• Avoid contact from silicone with the pane.
• Do not use any cleaning products containing abrasive particles.
• Do not use chemical products for cleaning the pane.
• Avoid contact with the pane from all sharp or abrasive objects including jewellery.
• Never attempt to clean off dirt on the pane without first applying water.
• If any works are taking place in the vicinity of the pane, protect the pane with a clean plastic sheet to prevent any splashes or staining from aggressive and abrasive compounds.

Minimising condensation
Particularly in rooms with high levels of humidity, condensation can form on the inner pane of the window. This can be minimised by fitting a radiator directly below the window and by airing the room frequently.

Maintenance of timber
The timber has received basic treatment and a finished coating at the factory and can be cleaned with ordinary household cleaners. It must receive further treatment at least every four years and whenever required. Windows exposed to strong heat, strong sunlight and/or high levels of humidity (eg in kitchens or bathrooms) must however receive treatment at least every two years.

Surface maintenance: Remove surface treatment (lacquer or paint). Ensure surface is clean and dry and apply primer to the timber. When dry, apply a coat of waterbased acrylic lacquer/paint (always follow the manufacturer's directions). Apply the same method to the affected areas if the lacquer/paint is damaged.

Cleaning the flashing
Leaves and other debris should be re moved from the flashing around the window once per year to allow rain water to flow freely.

Snow and ice
Remove snow and ice to allow melt water to drain off from and around the window.
