  1. Preparation: Decide on the installation location and cut a 39 cm square hole in the roof. Ensure the internal and external surfaces are flat and free from obstructions like cables or reinforcements.
  2. Sealant Application: Apply a waterproof sealant (butyl sealant is recommended) to the lower part of the external frame. Clean the roof area thoroughly before application.
  3. External Frame: Insert the external frame into the opening, ensuring the hinges are oriented in the direction of travel. Press lightly to distribute the sealant evenly.
  4. Fixing: Secure the external frame using 20 screws (Ø4.2x30mm UNI EN ISO 7049, not supplied).
  5. Sealing and Internal Frame: Siliconate the perimeter of the external frame, filling any gaps between the roof and frame, and cover the screw heads. Insert the internal frame and secure it with 4 self-tapping screws (Ø3.5x15mm UNI EN ISO 7049, not supplied).
