Product Overview

The AvosDim LUXE ALU Roll-Up Window Mosquito Screen is designed to provide effective insect protection for your windows. This model, MKENAL, features a robust extruded aluminum frame and a high-quality PVC-coated fiberglass mesh. Its roll-up mechanism allows for easy operation, similar to a classic roller blind.

Setup and Installation

Installation of the AvosDim LUXE ALU Roll-Up Window Mosquito Screen requires careful measurement and cutting to ensure a proper fit. It is recommended to have assistance during installation, especially for larger screens.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Saw (for cutting aluminum profiles and mesh)

• Screwdriver
• Level
• Safety glasses and gloves

Installation Steps:

1. Measure the Window Opening: Accurately measure the width and height of the exterior window frame opening where the screen will be installed.
2. Cut Components to Size: Based on your measurements, carefully cut the aluminum casing, side guides, and mesh to the required dimensions. Use the graduated scale on the casing for precision.
3. Assemble the Frame: Attach the side guides to the main casing. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Mount the Casing: Position the assembled casing at the top of the exterior window frame. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points for the casing end caps.
5. Drill and Secure: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. Insert appropriate wall plugs (if necessary) and secure the casing to the window frame using screws.
6. Install Side Guides: Align the side guides vertically along the window frame, ensuring they are parallel and the mesh can move freely. Mark and drill holes, then secure the side guides.
7. Insert Mesh and Pull Bar: Ensure the mesh is correctly tensioned within the side guides and the pull bar is properly seated.
8. Attach Handles and Pull Cord: Install the ergonomic handles on the pull bar. If the screen is installed high, attach the optional pull cord to the lower traverse for easier access.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AvosDim LUXE ALU Roll-Up Window Mosquito Screen, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Mesh: The fiberglass mesh is PVC-coated and can be spot cleaned. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently wipe away dirt or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the mesh or coating.
• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame and side guides with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
