How do I clean the exterior glass?

What does 'top-operated' mean for this window?

Top-operated refers to the control bar located at the top of the window sash, which allows for ventilation and operation even when the window is installed lower in the roof space.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Ensure there are no obstructions. Check if the frame has shifted or if hinges need adjustment. Consult the installation manual or a professional.

Leaking around the window frame

This usually indicates an issue with the flashing. Check the integrity of the flashing kit and the surrounding roofing. Professional inspection and repair are recommended.

Reduced sound insulation performance

Ensure the window is fully closed and sealed. Check the ventilation bar filter for blockages. If the issue persists, there might be an installation defect or damage to the glazing.

Condensation on the interior glass

Condensation can occur due to high indoor humidity. Increase ventilation by using the top control bar or other means to reduce indoor moisture levels.
