Operation & Maintenance

Always follow the specific operation and maintenance instructions provided with your order, as they may vary between models, materials, and options.

• Before operating the unit, ensure that there are no obstructions in the movement path of the panel
• The wall panel should be opened and cleaned at least every six months using clean water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth or sponge
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents
• Ensure that the space between the panel and the frame is free from gravel and dust
• Hinges must be kept clean and lubricated when necessary
• Ensure that the hinges can move freely along their intended range of motion during opening and closing. Avoid touching or interfering with the hinges during operation, as they may become misaligned and pose a risk of pinching
