Instructions for Use and Maintenance of Skylight Systems
General Instructions
In order to ensure or maintain the premium quality and properties of our skylight elements, a little care is required. Regular cleaning and servicing is required.
Make sure that torrential water flows off the skylight element freely. Remove any filth that is present on it.
Safety and assembly instructions:
· prior to starting the work, all the working conditions must be ensured in accordance with the regulations for occupational safety and regulations for work at height (fall-proofing the opening in the roof, securing the work site etc.),
· personal protective gear must be used when working,
· all the generally applicable regulations and regulations for preventing accidents must be considered.
Cleaning and Caring for the Skylight
The outer layer of the skylight is cleaned only with a soft, wet cloth or in combination with a deerskin cloth and water. If need be, special cleaning agents that do not contain solvents can be used.
The use of abrasive or alkaline cleaning agents and household cleaners is not recommended.
The skylight must not be cleaned when its surface is dry.
Avoid cleaning the skylights at higher temperatures.
Cleaning and Caring for the Opening Frame
The opening frame has to be cleaned occasionally. Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Do not use caustic cleaners or coarse cloths, because they can permanently damage the surface and structure of the product.
Never wipe filth off the frame when dry.
Cleaning and Caring for the Seals
In order to ensure the permanent functionality and aesthetic durability of the seals one must ensure their regular and professional impeccable care and maintenance.
· In order to preserve the flexibility of TPE seals on the opening frames, they must be occasionally wiped with a cloth and coated with talc.
· For the preservation of EPDM seals, however, it is best to clean them with a cloth and occasionally coat them with an appropriate rubber care product.
Such maintenance procedures prevent the seal from freezing onto the base on colder days. Seals should be cleaned only with mild soapy water or water alone.
Cleaning and Caring for the Kerb

Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Do not use caustic cleaners or coarse cloths, because
they can permanently damage the surface and structure of the product.
