This window is designed for installation on roof pitches between 15° and 90°.

How do I clean the outside of the window?

You can easily clean the outside glass by rotating the window 180 degrees on its central pivot and wiping it with a soft, damp cloth from the inside.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions in the opening mechanism. Ensure the window is not warped due to extreme temperature changes. If persistent, contact a professional installer.

Drafts or leaks around the window frame

Verify that the window was installed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check the seals and flashing for damage or dislodgement. Professional inspection may be required.

Condensation on the glass

Interior condensation is often due to high humidity levels in the room. Ensure adequate ventilation, perhaps by using the window's ventilation flap. Exterior condensation can occur in specific weather conditions and is normal.

Polyurethane finish appears dull

Clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. The finish is designed to be maintenance-free, but a gentle wipe can restore its appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.
