Setup and Installation
Installation of the Fiamma Vent 50 x 50 Crystal requires careful attention to ensure proper sealing and functionality. It is designed for 50cm x 50cm apertures. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
- Prepare Aperture: Ensure the roof opening is precisely 50cm x 50cm and clean from debris.

- Secure with Screws: Secure the rooflight using appropriate plastic or galvanised screws (not included). Ensure screws are tightened evenly to prevent warping and maintain a secure fit.

Operating Instructions
The Fiamma Vent 50 x 50 Crystal is designed for ease of use, providing flexible ventilation and light control.
- Opening the Rooflight: Use the integrated handles to open the rooflight. The pantograph system allows it to open on all four sides, providing excellent airflow. Rotate the handles to disengage the lock and lift the cover to the desired ventilation position.
- Closing the Rooflight: Gently pull down the cover until it seats firmly against the frame. Rotate the handles to engage the locking anti-theft device, ensuring the rooflight is securely closed and rain/wind proof.
- Using the Roller Blinds: The integrated roller blind system features two separate rollers. Pull down the dark roller blind for shade and privacy. Pull down the mosquito screen roller blind to prevent insects from entering while maintaining ventilation. Both can be operated independently.
- Using the Folding Flyscreen: The folding flyscreen can be deployed or retracted as needed to provide an additional barrier against insects.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fiamma Vent 50 x 50 Crystal.
- Cleaning the Cover: Clean the crystal outer cover periodically with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface or degrade the UV protection.
- Cleaning the Flyscreen and Blinds: The mosquito screen and roller blinds can be gently wiped with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure they are dry before retracting fully.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the moving parts of the pantograph mechanism and handles. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if movement becomes stiff.
- Seal Inspection: Inspect the rubber seals around the rooflight frame regularly for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Damaged seals should be replaced promptly to maintain watertight integrity.
- Screw Tightness: Occasionally check the tightness of the mounting screws. Do not overtighten.
