InstallationRemovalNotes

Installation

  1. If the window halves are together, separate by gently squeezing the left and right sides inward on the inside half while pulling apart. Once the left and right hooks are no longer engaged, push down on the top to disconnect the top hook and the halves will come free.
  2. If desired, position a wallpaper with the wallpaper cutouts aligned with the corresponding wall cutouts. Make sure the wallpaper does not hang over any edge of the cutouts, or it will get crimped by the window.
  3. Begin window installation by putting the outside half (the half with the hooks) into a wall cutout. The hooks are symmetrical, but some window types have a specific orientation like a window sill.
  4. Place the bottom of the inside half onto the bottom hook of the outside half through the wall cutout. Confirm the hook is fully seated.
  5. Pinch the left and right sides of the inside half inward slightly and push the two halves together, taking care not to put any pressure on the transparent window pane. The left and right hooks should click into place.
  6. Finally, squeeze the top edge of the outside and inside half together until the top hook engages. If done correctly, the flange on both the inside and outside should be flush against the wall all the way around. If not, run your fingers around the window edge until it is fully seated.

Removal

  1. Using the MagSlip Multitool or a thin blunt object like a fingernail, slide underneath the left edge of the inside half of the window, pressing inward while prying away from the wall until the hook disengages. Take care not to scuff or tear any wallpaper.
  2. Repeat this on the right side.
  3. Press down from the top of the inside half and pry away from the wall until the hook disengages.
  4. Lift the inside half off the bottom hook, and remove the outside half.


Notes

  • The side with the tabs is always the “outside”.
  • Connectors are symmetrical (though some kinds of window have an orientation).
  • Don’t put pressure on the window pane when installing/removing, it can come loose.
  • Windows made of the wood/plastic hybrid are softer and more fragile than the plastic varieties, be gentle when installing/removing or the hooks can break.
