Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to correctly install your Hoberg Pollen Protection Window Screen:

1. Measure Your Window: Measure the inner dimensions of your window frame where the screen will be installed. The screen is suitable for windows up to a maximum size of 150 x 130 cm.
2. Cut the Screen to Size: Carefully cut the pollen protection net to match your window's measured dimensions. Use sharp scissors for a clean edge.

3. Clean the Window Frame: Ensure the window frame surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. This is crucial for the adhesive magnetic strips to bond effectively.
4. Attach Magnetic Holders to Frame: Peel the protective backing from the 16 adhesive metal plates and firmly press them onto the clean window frame. Ensure even spacing for optimal hold.
5. Attach Magnetic Counterparts to Screen: Place the 16 magnetic holders with tenons onto the screen, aligning them with the metal plates on the frame. The tenons should pierce the mesh to secure the screen. Some users find using pliers helpful to press the plastic lugs through the mesh.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Hoberg Pollen Protection Window Screen, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Screen: The screen can be easily detached from the magnetic frame for cleaning. Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and pollen. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Cleaning the Window: The magnetic attachment allows for easy removal of the screen, facilitating regular window cleaning without leaving adhesive residues on the glass or frame.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during off-seasons, clean the screen thoroughly, allow it to dry completely, and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Hoberg Pollen Protection Window Screen, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Difficulty Attaching Magnets/Net:
  • Ensure the window frame surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before applying the adhesive metal plates.
  • If the plastic lugs on the magnetic holders are difficult to pierce the mesh, use a pair of pliers to gently press them through.
• Magnets Detaching from Frame:
  • Poor adhesion can occur if the surface was not clean or if exposed to high heat. Re-clean the surface and reapply new adhesive metal plates if necessary.
  • For stronger hold, especially in high-temperature environments, consider using additional adhesive strips or a stronger adhesive for the metal plates.
• Insects or Pollen Passing Through:
  • Verify that the screen was cut precisely to the window dimensions and that there are no gaps between the screen and the frame.
  • Ensure all magnetic points are securely attached, creating a complete seal around the window opening.
  • While the mesh is fine (25 µm), extremely small insects like thrips might still pass through. For such specific concerns, additional measures might be required.
• Screen Appears Saggy or Uneven:
  • This may indicate imprecise cutting or uneven tension during installation. Re-measure and re-cut if necessary, ensuring the screen is taut when attached.
  • Ensure magnetic holders are evenly distributed and applied with consistent pressure.
