 Directions for use (For the homeowner)
1 Ventilation position
The built-in barrel bolt allows you to fix the window in 1 2
open position. The barrel bolt is placed in the top left
part of the window, and slides into the bushing at the
top of side frame.
2 Cleaning the roof window
To clean the outside glass, rotate the sash a full 180
degrees.
3 Cleaning the flashing
Leaves and other debris should be removed from the 3 4
flashing arond the window once per year to allow rain
water to pass freely.
4 Cleaning the roof window
Wipe varnished surface either with a dry cloth or with
lukewarm soap and water. The cleaner and drier the tim-
ber is kept, the longer its good looks will be maintained.

The lining should allow for a good air flow across the
pane to reduce the possibility of condensation.
