X The apertures for forced ventilation must always be kept open. Never cover
or block forced ventilations with objects such as e.g. a winter mat. Keep
forced ventilations clear of snow and leaves.
Z The skylights are fitted with a blind or Roman shade and with a roller insect
screen or folding insect screen. After the latch has been released, the blind and
roller insect screen automatically spring back to the initial position by tensile
force. In order not to damage the tension mechanics, hold onto the blind or
roller insect screen and allow it to slowly return to the initial position.
Z Do not keep blinds closed over a longer period of time as that can cause incre-
ased material wear.
Z If the blind or the Roman shade is completely closed, exposure to direct sun-
light can cause heat to accumulate between the blind/the Roman shade and
the skylight. The skylight could be damaged. For that reason, close the blind/
Roman shade only 2/3 of the way in direct sunlight. Open the skylight slightly
or move it to ventilation position.
Z Depending on the weather, close the skylights far enough to prevent moisture
from entering.
Z Never step on the skylights.
Z Before commencing the journey, close the skylights.
Z Before commencing the journey, check that the skylights are closed and locked.
Z Before commencing the journey, open the blinds or Roman shades.
Z Apply talc to the rubber seals of the skylights at least once a year.
