WINDOWS
To open, turn knobs anti-clockwise and open
catches. Swivel the window pane open to the
desired position and close knobs clockwise to
lock in the open position.
To close, reverse the operation.
All opening windows have two catch positions.
The first position is for ventilation the second
seals the window from ventilation and rain.
Acrylic (Plastic) Window Condensation
Unlike domestic double glazed windows,
your caravan / Motorhomes window are
not vacuum sealed instead the double
panes of acrylic plastic with are fitted with a
breathable plug on the inner pane.
It is possible, in weather where extremes
in temperatures occur between night and
day, that customer will notice condensation
between the panes. The same phenomenon
may also occur when washing your vehicle
on a hot day.
The condensation should clear itself when
the ambient conditions return to normal and
the air between the panes dries. However, if
this is taking a longer time than required, the
breathable plug (normally located in the top
corner of the window) can be removed, with
a pin or sharp object, and replaced when the
panes are dry. Care should be taken when
doing this.

Acrylic (Plastic) Window Cleaning
The material used to produce most caravan
and Motorhome windows is acrylic plastic.
While the acrylic used is very durable, it is
able to be scratched with relative ease and
therefore, care must be taken when clearing
your vehicle not to use aggressive clearing
products. Equally, care should be taken
when using a drying cloth that it is clean and
free from grit.
S2000 BLINDS (SEITZ)
Blinds and Flyscreens
Flyscreen and blinds operate in the same
manner. The flyscreen can only be 'fully up'
or 'fully' down, but the blind also has an
intermediate position.
To operate, pull down by holding the
fingergrip(s), gently ease towards the window
to locate the catches. To retract, pull down
easing away from the window to release the
catches and guide to the required position.
•
Only operate by holding the fingergrip(s)
- pulling on one side will cause uneven
running and snagging.
•
Do not allow the blind or flyscreen to re-
coil without control.
•
It is not recommended that blinds and/
or flyscreens are left in the down position
for long periods, or when travelling, as this
can result in fatigue of the spring.
•
Clean the cassette, side track and fabrics
with mild detergent and water.
