Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Remove the old window handle. Unscrew the fixings holding the old handle in place.
- Spindle Selection: Choose the correct spindle length from the pack. Align the spindle with the window mechanism.
- Installation: Insert the new handle and secure it with the screws provided. Ensure the handle sits flush against the window frame.
- Testing: Test the handle's operation, including the key-locking function, to ensure proper functionality.
Compatibility
The Vivo Window Handle is designed for uPVC windows and is compatible with double glazing. Check the measurements and style of your existing handle to ensure a match. Pay close attention to the spindle length; measure the distance from the handle's face to the locking mechanism on your window.
Care
- Clean the handle regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if the handle becomes stiff.
- Ensure keys are stored safely and securely.
