Troubleshooting
Window is difficult to open or close.
Check for obstructions in the frame or track. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. The hinges or mechanism may require lubrication; consult the manual for appropriate lubricants.
Water leaks around the frame.
Verify that the edge sealing is intact and properly applied. Ensure the window is correctly installed and sealed within the wall opening. Check for any damage to the frame or seals.
Condensation on the glass.
Some condensation between glass panes may indicate a seal failure. Condensation on the interior or exterior surface is normal depending on humidity and temperature differences. Ensure adequate ventilation in the basement.

Clean the locking mechanism thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Ensure no debris is preventing smooth operation.
