cases we do not provide any guarantee!
The safety instructions as well as the appropriate instructions must be read
carefully before installation and use. In case of non-observance of the
directions and information given in these instructions and in case of
improper installation and operation or unintended use, the manufacturer

Operation of the sunblind in case of
storm:
If the wind speed exceeds the
tolerable limiting value, close the
windows or raise the sunblind to the
upper end position. Take care, that no
draught can arise, even during your
absence. If the window is open, the
closed sunblinds cannot withstand all
wind loads. The recommended wind
limit values can be ensured only with
a closed window.
Operation of the sunblind in case of
frost or rain:
In case of frost the sunblind can
freeze shut. Avoid using force to
operate the sunblind and do not use it,
if there is snow or ice in the guide
rails. Do not operate the unit if it is
frozen solid. With automatic control
devices it is necessary to switch the
automatic control device off, if there is
danger of freezing.
If the front-mounted blind is raised
whilst wet (e.g. after rain), it must be
lowered again later to dry the cover.
Range of movement of the
sunblind:
Please make sure that no obstacles
block the guide rails of the sunblind.
