Use and Care Manual

Your Sun Tunnel® skylight’s diuser is made of acrylic, so
you should AVOID using these products when cleaning it:
• Cleaning materials containing abrasives (such as
scouring powder) or alkaline cleaners
• Brushes, abrasives, gritty cloths, or
strong solvents
• Gasoline, acetone, chlorinated solvents, carbon
tetrachloride, denatured alcohol, etc.
• Harsh solvents like methyl ethyl ketone or
muriatic acid
• Razor blades, squeegees, or sharp implements
• Do NOT clean either type of lens in hot temperatures
or in the hot sun.
Now that you know what not to use, gather your supplies
and follow the instructions below to remove the diuser
lens and clean it.
REMOVING DIFFUSER LENS
To remove your diuser lenses, rotate the bottom lens
counterclockwise until it releases. Both lenses should
detach easily from the end of the tube. The upper
frosted lens and lower clear lens will come apart and
should be cleaned separately.
CLEANING ACRYLIC LENSES
Acrylic plastic has a highly polished lustrous surface.
Given proper care, it will retain its appearance for many
years to come. Once you have removed your acrylic
diuser lens:
• WASH your diuser lens with a mild soap or
detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth
and as much liquid as possible. Rinse well and remove
any excess water with a damp soft cloth. Allow to dry
before reinstalling the diuser.
• FINE SCRATCHES. Because of the diuser’s
material and its positioning on the ceiling, you should
not experience fine scratches on your Sun Tunnel
skylights’s diuser. If you notice any fine scratches or
lines after installation, please contact us so we can
replace your diuser.
