Safety and warning information
WARNING! Risk of injury due to improper maintenance
operations.
Improper maintenance can lead to serious personal
injury or material damage.
For this reason:
› Before starting work, ensure there is sucient
room for carrying out assembly work.
› Ensure that the assembly site is kept clean and
tidy. Loose components and tools lying around or
on top of each other can cause an accident. Only
use intact tools.
› Work, such as the adjustment of hardware –
particularly near to the pivot post and the scissor
stay – as well as the replacement of parts and the
hinging and unhinging of the sash must only be
carried out by trained, skilled personnel.
WARNING! Risk of injury due to heavy sashes.
Non-compliance can result in serious personal injury
or material damage.
For this reason:
› Correctly assess the weight of the sash before
starting work.
› Large and/or heavy sashes should always be
hinged and unhinged by several people.
Overloading can result in serious long-term eects
(back problems).
WARNING! Windows with damaged or defective hardware
components must be secured to prevent any kind of
use. Damaged or defective hardware components
must be replaced immediately.
NOTE! When replacing hardware components, you must
observe the relevant assembly instructions and/or
the package leaet.
Once hardware components have been replaced, the
plastic drive track retaining clip must be‚ ‘snapped‘
on rst operation. You must always check that the
repaired sash functions correctly.

NOTE! Warranty claims can only be accepted if all
maintenance operations have been carried out in full
and according to the maintenance intervals
(specied in the end user operating instructions), and
this can be veried.
NOTE! Warranty claims can only be accepted if the unit has
been installed correctly and by a certied specialist.

Measures to preserve the
surface nish
Protection against soiling:
› The hardware should be kept free of debris and soiling.
Immediately remove soiling during the building stage caused by
plaster, mortar or similar with water.
› Protect hardware components from contamination (dust, dirt,
paint, etc.).
WARNING! Faulty or damaged parts must be immediately
put right.
Protection against corrosion:
› Ventilate the hardware and or the rebate areas so that they are
not exposed to direct moisture or condensation (important during
the building stage).
› Aggressive vapours in conjunction with small formations of
condensation can lead to fast corrosion of the hardware
components.
› Timber frames and sashes with a high concentration of (tannic)
acid must be treated with suitable surface coatings to ensure that
these contents do not evaporate from the timber.
› No acetic acid or cross-linked acidic sealing compounds or those
with the above mentioned contents may be used.
› The hardware must not be damaged with sharp edged tools.
› Clean the ttings with a moist cloth, avoid permanent wetness!
Protection against corrosive, acidiferous cleaning agents:
› Clean the ttings with a so, lint-free cloth and a mild, pH-neutral
cleaning agent in diluted form only. Never use aggressive, acidic,
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners (scouring pads, steel wool,
etc.). This can result in damage to the hardware!
› If hardware is damaged in this manner, it may impair the
function and the safety characteristics. This can result in personal
injury.
Defective or damaged points must be repaired and restored
immediately.
› We recommend re-treating the cropped edges of TRICOAT-PLUS
ttings with the TRICOAT-PLUS touch-up paint.

Exchange of window rebate seals
› When exchanging window rebate seals, it is important to ensure
that a suitable seal is used. Installing an unsuitable seal can
negatively aect the functionality, performance and operation of
the window (driving rain tightness, air ow, operating force when
locking…).
› To make the installation easier, talcum powder or potato starch
can be applied. These can be used to increase the sliding
properties of the seals.
