Intended use

The external roller blind is intended for external use on sky-
lights and protects against heat.

It may only be installed and used on the Roto skylight types 
designed for their use.

The external roller blind reflects and absorbs a large portion 
of heat radiation, but does not offer full heat protection (in a 
physical sense).

Do not place additional strain, such as that from suspended 
objects, on the external roller blind as this may damage the 
product. 

No alterations, additions, conversions or maintenance work 
other than the activities described here are to be carried out 
on the product without the written approval of Roto.
