Instruction manual
1
Before winter, the window must be prepared. To do this, you first need to wash it. It is necessary to wash a double-glazed window with special detergents, which are quite strong in action, but at the same time do not include aggressive active substances. In addition, you need to use special soft rags or napkins. If there is complex contamination on the window, do not use sharp objects such as a knife and cleaning powders to remove it - they will scratch the glass.

Experts recommend that before washing to reduce the amount of dirt and to avoid dirty streaks, brush off the dust with a soft brush.

Next, you need to do the fittings. Before changing the season, it must be adjusted. To prevent cold air from entering the room, set the sash clamps to winter mode. The window will fit snugly, and the cold will not be scary.

As for window maintenance in winter, it is no different from preparatory work. Remember to wash the window regularly.

Do not forget to regularly lubricate the fittings with machine oil. After applying the product to the parts, open and close the leaf several times to distribute the oil. Remember that you need to lubricate the fittings in those days when there are no severe frosts.

Pay attention to the rubber seal. After all, he takes on most of the load, retaining heat and at the same time reliably holding the sash. Like any rubber product, the seal may wear out over time and lose its airtight properties. It can be cleaned in 2 ways: directly on the frame or remove it.
7
If you remove the seal, place it in a basin of warm water and rinse with a soft cloth, then wipe it dry. If you wash the seal directly on the leaf, use a rag with detergent applied to it, then wipe it dry with a cloth. At the end of the wash, apply silicone rubber care product to it.
note
If your glass sweats and cries in the winter, contact the masters. They should check the condition of the seal and determine how tight it is. If there is a violation in the rubber, for example, it has dried up and cracking, you will have to change the seal. This must be done, because otherwise harmful mold may form which is harmful to health.
