Operation

Before operating the unit make sure, that the curtain is freely movable.

Be careful: The blind can sustain damage if it is blocked (e.g. formation of ice) or stops abruptly (e.g. by obstacles in the window lintel when lowering).

Blinds with lift tape
Avoid tearing at the lift tapes or letting the blind drop in an uncontrolled fashion.

Blinds with crank handle
Fold the crank handle only into the specified direction. Operate the drive evenly and without the use of force.

Electrically operated blinds
A reminder: the blind must run freely. Especially if it is operated by an automatic device.

The thermal cut-off switch could respond if the blind is operated a number of times in succession; the motor stops. Wait a few minutes, the switch releases operation when the motor has cooled down sufficiently.

If a fault occurs during a thunderstorm (indirect lightening strike), function can be restored by switching the circuit breaker (fuse) off and then on.

Caution!
Inappropriate loads affect the function and safety of the shading device. The guarantee is no longer valid in case of incorrect operation and improper use.

Technically speaking, HELLA blinds are maintenance-free.

Cleaning and care

For cleaning the coated elements such as the box, guide rails or profiles wipe clean with hand-hot water and a neutral cleaning agent (soap based).

This method can also be used for cleaning the blind.Please: Do not use solvent and alcohol (methylated spirits). Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

Further tips

If the blind was retracted after getting wet through rain, extend the blind at the next suitable opportunity and allow the fabric to dry.

Do not subject the blind to moisture for extended periods of time. Aggressive condensation from plaster or coating materials may cause damage through corrosion.

Please ventilate regularly and wipe off condensed water from internal metal parts.

Attention! A lowered blind does not protect children from falling out of the window.
