The window opens by turning the handle to a vertical position and
pushing the sash outwards until the safety restrictor engages at an
opening of 5-10cm.
Friction arm adjustment.
Friction is adjusted by equally turning the
screws at the sides of the sash anti-clockwise using a 3mm hexagon
key (1).
It is important that the screws are evenly tightened in both
sides, to keep the sash level and square.
Cleaning.
The external side of the window can be cleaned from inside
the building by reversing the sash. Open the window until the safety
restrictor is activated. Pull back the window slightly and detach the
restrictor (2). Push the window outwards - DO NOT LEAN OUT
while doing so. When pushed outwards, the top of the sash can be
pulled gently downwards toward the bottom of the window. The sash
is fully reversed when the catch engages to keep it in the cleaning
position (3). Large reversible windows have an additional safety arm
which is to be moved outwards and fixed to the frame to ensure the
sash is stable before cleaning (4). When the sash has been cleaned,
the catch (3) and eventual arm (4) are disengaged and the bottom
of the sash is guided back towards the top (2). The safety restrictor
will automatically re-engage when the sash is closed. Never leave the
window unattended while the restrictor is disengaged!

IMPORTANT.
The vertical guide
rails should be kept free from
dirt (5). They should be sprayed
with teflon-based lubricating oil
or a similar product once a year,
as a miniumum (Never all-round
lubricating oil!).
