The Fiamma Vent 28 F is a rooflight designed for camper vans and motorhomes. Key requirements for installation include a 28x28 cm square opening and a roof thickness between 54 and 68 mm. Always use recommended sealants such as SIKALASTOMER-710, THEROSTAT II, or DEKALIN 1512. The unit must be installed with hinges facing the front of the vehicle.
Installation instructions
- Decide on the installation location, ensuring the roof surface is flat and free of obstructions like cables or reinforcements.
- Cut a 28x28 cm square hole in the roof.
- Apply the recommended sealant to the lower part of the external frame, following the designated rails.
- Place the external frame into the opening, ensuring the hinges face the front of the vehicle.
- Install the inner frame and secure the rooflight using the 4 supplied screws. Tighten screws to 1.2 N.m, ensuring the frame adheres to the roof without deformation.

Operation
The rooflight is operated manually. Ensure the safety cable tie is removed before opening the cover for the first time. To open or close, use the provided mechanism. Always ensure the rooflight is properly closed before driving.

- Lubrication: If the opening/closing mechanism becomes stiff, apply a few drops of grease.
- Inspection: Periodically check the tightness of all screws, especially after the first few kilometers following installation and before/after long trips. Check the cover for cracks.
