3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Fiamma Front Panel 40 operates as a fixed component of your Privacy Room F45 260 Van enclosure. Its primary function is to provide an extended front wall with a transparent window.
- Window Usage: The Crystal full light window is fixed and does not open. It provides natural light and visibility.
- Entry/Exit: Access to the enclosure is typically managed through other designated entry points of the Privacy Room, not directly through this fixed front panel.
- Securing: Ensure all zippers, Velcro straps, and tensioning elements connecting the panel to the main enclosure are always securely fastened, especially in windy conditions.

Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Fiamma Front Panel 40.

- Cleaning Window: The Crystal window can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive plastic cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid wiping when dry to prevent scratching.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the panel is clean and completely dry to prevent mold and mildew. Fold neatly and store in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
