General
DORMA recommends the use of:

1. DORMA glas fittings are not suitable for rooms in which chemicals (e. g. chlorine) is used, e. g. swimming pools, saunas and
salt-water pools. For those cases DORMA offers special glas fitting designs from its product portfolio that are suitable in such
areas. Please contact us for more information.
2. Sliding panels may not be moved faster than walking speed and have to be stopped by hand before they reach the end posi-
tion.
3. Do not force the swing-pivoted door during closing. Fitting a door stop is recommended to prevent the door the door from
being opened too far.
4. The opening limiters of door closers must not be used as door stops. Use a doorstop.
Installation
1. DORMA glass fittings are to be installed only by qualified personnel that has been trained especially for the installation of
glass.
2. Glasses with chonchoidal fractures and/or damaged edges may not be installed.
3. There is a risk of getting pinched, among other things, in the area of the secondary closing edge as well as a risk of injuries
due to glass breaking during the installation. Wear the required protective clothing (especially gloves and safety goggles).
4. Prior to the final installation of the fittings, the glass must be freed from grease in the clamping area by using fat-dissolving
household cleaning agents.
5. Structured glass surfaces (except for frosted glass) or glasses with large variations in thickness may be used if a compensating
coat has been applied.
6. Self-cleaning coats on the glass may not be used in case of clamp fittings.
7. Observe the gap dimensions specified for the respective fitting when aligning the glass elements. The gap dimensions must be
adjusted accordingly so that a contact of the glass with hard material (e. g. glass, concrete) is prevented.
8. Ensure a zero-stress installation (without excessive local tensions due to screws tightened to much) .
Maintenance
The fit and the operation of the fittings as well as the adjustment of the door must be regularily checked. Especially in case of
highly frequented systems the test should be carried out by a specialist company or installing company. Damaged glass elements
(flaking and /or chonchoidal fractures) must be replaced immediately. Use only suitable cleaners and cleaning agents for cleaning
the surfaces.
