automatically:

- If the roller shutter meets an obstacle when raised, it stops
automatically:
• Press the Down button to release the roller shutter.
3. 3. ANTI#FREEZE PROTECTION

is frozen onto the windowsill. However, if the shutter is (completely) frozen in its guide rails or if a
single slat is frozen solid to another, this may reduce the effectiveness of the antifreeze protection.
In this event, it is still possible that damage may be caused to the shutter. It is very rare for the
shutter to become frozen in this way. In such a case, refrain from using the roller shutter until the
ice has been removed.
