Maintenance

To ensure the functioning of the tilt & turn fittings of your windows or balcony doors, it is necessary to carry out the following maintenance procedures annually.
• Visually check the hinges for excessive wear.
• If necessary, lubricate all moving parts and fixings of the tilt & turn fittings.
• Use only non-corrosive cleaning and care products.

 

These maintenance requirements also apply to window types not listed separately in this guide (e.g., tilt & turn windows, turn windows, and kip windows).

 

Safety instructions

Avoid getting your fingers caught in the window. Risk of falling out. Risk of injury due to sudden gusts.   Do not place additional weights on the sash. Do not force the sash past the opening angle. Before closing the window, ensure that there are no foreign objects between the sash and the frame.

General recommendations for window users

A quality window is capable of so much more than simply letting in air and light:
it is a design element as well as a structural detail with high technical requirements.

 

In addition to the maintenance of fittings, users are advised to regularly check the condition of the window surface, glass, and seals, and to eliminate any faults immediately.

 

For cleaning, use only soap water; do not use corrosive cleaning agents.
