Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your Fiamma Vent roof vent. Please follow these instructions carefully.
Before You Begin
- Ensure the installation area on your vehicle's roof is clean, dry, and free from debris.
- Verify that the roof thickness is suitable for the vent's frame.
- Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, measuring tape, pencil, cleaning supplies.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Opening: Carefully mark the 40 x 40 cm opening on your vehicle's roof. Use appropriate tools to cut the opening, ensuring clean edges.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a generous bead of the provided Dekalin sealant around the perimeter of the roof opening on the exterior of the vehicle.
- Position the Outer Frame: Place the outer frame of the Fiamma Vent roof vent into the prepared opening, pressing it firmly into the sealant. Ensure it is correctly aligned.
- Secure with Screws: From the exterior, use the provided fixing screws to secure the outer frame to the roof. The design allows for complete external screwing, eliminating the need for internal drilling.
- Install Inner Frame: From the interior of the vehicle, attach the inner frame (which includes the mosquito net) to the outer frame. Ensure a secure fit.
- Check for Leaks: After installation, perform a water test to ensure there are no leaks. Apply additional sealant if necessary.
Operating Instructions
The Fiamma Vent roof vent is designed for simple and efficient operation.
Opening and Closing
To open the roof vent, turn the rotary knob located on the inner frame counter-clockwise. Continue turning until the desired opening angle (up to 60°) is achieved. To close, turn the knob clockwise until the lid is fully sealed.
Mosquito Net
The integrated mosquito net provides protection against insects while allowing airflow. It is permanently attached to the inner frame.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fiamma Vent roof vent.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior and interior surfaces of the vent with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic or glass.
- Sealant Inspection: Annually inspect the sealant around the vent for any cracks or signs of wear. Reapply sealant as needed to prevent water ingress.
- Mechanism Check: Ensure the rotary knob and opening mechanism operate smoothly. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff.
- Mosquito Net: Gently clean the mosquito net with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage | Damaged or insufficient sealant; improper installation. | Inspect sealant around the frame. Clean and reapply Dekalin sealant as necessary. Ensure all screws are tightened. |
| Difficulty Opening/Closing | Mechanism stiff or obstructed; dirt accumulation. | Clean the moving parts of the opening mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and rotary knob mechanism. |
| Excessive Noise During Driving | Vent not fully closed; damaged seal. | Ensure the vent is completely closed and latched. Check the rubber seal around the lid for damage and replace if necessary. |
