2.1 Roof hatches
Your motorhome is equipped with roof hatches that allow both ventilation and darkening. To open the roof hatch, press
the release button and push the bracket up. The roof hatch can be set in various positions using the locking positions.
The darkening blinds or pleated blinds of the roof hatches must not be closed while driving, and a maximum of 2/3
closed in strong sunlight. The pane must be in the “permanent ventilation” position to prevent damage from overheating.
•
Depending on the situation, you can open the roof
hatch completely or partially
•
The roof hatches are equipped with legally required
forced ventilation
•
The roof hatches must be closed while driving
•
The roof hatch in the kitchen area provides optimum
ventilation in connection with the slightly opened
kitchen window
•
The opening of the roof hatch in the washroom
prevents the mirrors from misting up
Roof hatches with fan:
“Omnivent” roof hatches equipped with a fan can be opened by turning handle “A” in the direction shown. The fan can
be switched on/off via the control panel “B” and you can choose whether the air is blown in or out. Red LEDs indicate

2.2 Midi-Heki, Heki III
The operating instructions of the company Seitz contain all the necessary information.
Heki III roof window:
The Heki 3 can be opened with the hand crank up to an opening angle of
approximately 70°. To lock it completely, continue cranking 2-3 turns after
the pane is fully supported.
The Heki III must remain closed while driving. Before operating the satellite antenna, the surrounding
roof hatches must be closed.
For more detailed information about the Heki III, please refer to the operating instructions from Seitz that are supplied.
2.3 Windows
FRANKIA motorhomes are equipped with combination roller blinds. These allow optimum darkening during the night and
full or partial ventilation, with or without a mosquito net.
Do not keep the darkening blinds closed for a long period of time in strong sunlight, otherwise material fatigue can be
expected.
To open the window, press the safety button and turn the locks to the side. You can connect the mosquito blind to the
darkening blind and move the whole unit up or down.
Do not drive with the hinged windows open!
