To secure the window in a ventilation po-
sition, turn the handle to a closed position
while the window is open. This, however,
does not apply to units with an IPA fricti-
on brake where the friction is adjusted by
tightening or loosening the friction screw in
the sliding rail.
IPA friction brakes are always mounted in
the top sash.

The type of hinge may vary, but the function
is the same for all types of pin hinges.
Operation with espagnolette
Our sidehung windows are supplied with
espagnolettes and friction brake. The win-
dow is operated with a single handle in the
sash's closing side which operates both the
closing mechanism and the friction brake.
The friction brake in the bottom sash makes
it possible to secure the sash in a random
ventilation position from an opening of ap-
prox. 50 mm. The receiver has two slots, the
inner slot is for closing the window, while
the outer slot produces a gap at the bottom
of 10-20 mm for a night ventilation facility
which can be securely locked in position.
Never open a side hung window
for the purpose of airing the
room unless it is secured by either
a window stay or a safety catch. In
case of strong winds or draughts,
you cannot count on the ironmon-
gery friction stays to keep the sash
in a ventilation or open position.
