Frequently Asked Questions - DB1R DOMETIC

How to install the Dometic DB1R roller blind?

Attach the mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling using suitable screws. Make sure the surface is flat and solid. Hang the blind on the brackets then lock it. Refer to the manual for precise drilling dimensions.

How to clean the blind fabric?

Use a soft cloth soaked in warm water and mild soap. Gently rub, then rinse with clean water. Do not use abrasive products or solvents. Let dry completely before folding.

The blind no longer unrolls properly, what should I do?

Check that the strap or cord is not blocked. If the mechanism is stuck, apply silicone lubricant to the winding tube. If the spring is slack, it may need to be replaced.

Can I use the blind outdoors in windy weather?

In strong wind, it is recommended to retract the blind to avoid damage. The blind is designed for sheltered use. Gusts can damage the mechanism or fabric.

How to adjust the spring tension?

Unroll the blind completely, then remove the end cap. Use a wrench to turn the adjustment axis clockwise to increase tension, or counterclockwise to decrease. Refer to the manual for exact values.

Is the blind easy to repair yourself?

Yes, parts like straps, springs, and brackets are available as replacements. The repairability index is good. Follow the instructions in the manual or contact customer service for parts.

What dimensions are available for the DB1R?

The blind is available in several widths (from 60 cm to 300 cm) and heights (up to 150 cm). The exact size depends on your order. Measure your opening before purchase.

How to replace the pull strap?

Unclip the old strap from the winding mechanism. Thread the new strap through the guide, then attach it to the tube. Make sure it is tight. Test the movement before reassembling everything.

Does the blind stop automatically at the end of travel?

Yes, the mechanism is designed to stop automatically when the blind is fully unrolled or rolled up. Do not force the operation if the stop is reached.

2 Intended use

The mini double cassette roller blind is suitable for windows in mobile homes or camper vans. It has an insect screen and a blackout roller blind.

3 Fitting the roller blind

3.1 Fixing the roller blind

The fastening of the roller blind is different for roller blinds that are under 1 m in width and those that are 1 m in width or wider. Wide roller blinds must have an additional bracket for the cassettes fixed at the top and the bottom in the center.

NOTE

You can attach the insect screen at the top and the blackout roller blind at the bottom, as well as vice versa.

Proceed as illustrated (fig. 2, page 3 to fig. 8, page 6).

All steps with width specifications must only be performed for roller blinds with the corresponding width of over 1 m or under 1 m. For roller blinds with a width over 1 m, the top and the bottom cassette must both be fixed with an additional bracket. Determine the position for fastening the bracket as illustrated (fig. 4, page 4).

3.2 Adjusting the tension of the roller blinds

NOTICE!

Always adjust the tension on the right and left in parallel. Otherwise, damage may be caused to the roller blind in the long term.

The roller blinds are tensioned using two cords (fig. 9 1, page 7) with springs (fig. 9 2, page 7), that are located on the right and left of the two cassettes. To increase or decrease the tension of the cord, the central part of the tensioning fitting is rotated, (fig. 9 3, page 7) making the spring move into another notch (fig. 9 4, page 7).

Proceed as illustrated (fig. 10 and fig. 11, page 8).

4 Using the roller blind

4.1 Closing the roller blind

NOTICE! Risk of damage due to a build-up of heat between the roller blind and the window!

In strong sunlight, only close the blackout roller blind two thirds of the way.

Roller blinds with a width of less than one meter (fig. 12, page 8)

▶ Pull the blackout roller blind by the handle strip to the desired position. ▶ Pull the handle strip of the insect screen directly to the handle strip of the blackout roller blind. √ When the tension has been set correctly the roller blinds stay in the closed position.

Roller blinds with a width of over one meter (fig. 13, page 9)

▶ Pull the blackout roller blind by the handle strip to the desired position. ▶ Pull the handle strip of the insect screen directly to the handle strip of the blackout roller blind. ▶ Press the handle strips together so that the handle notches into place on the handle strip of the insect screen. √ The handle keeps the roller blinds closed.

4.2 Opening the roller blind

NOTICE! Risk of damage

Never let the blackout roller blind spring back.

▶ Pull the blackout roller blind and the insect screen by the handle strip to the desired, open position. √ The handle strips of the roller blinds hold firm in every position.

Press on the handle of the roller blind. The insect screen quickly moves upwards or downwards. Pull the blackout roller blind to the desired position.

5 Troubleshooting

The insect screen or blackout roller blind cannot be moved.

Check the guide rails for dirt. Clean the guide rails if necessary.

The tension of the roller blind is insufficient.

Tension the spring cord in each corner.

6 Cleaning and care

NOTICE!

Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning as these may damage the product.

Occasionally clean the product with a damp cloth. To prevent material fatigue, do not keep the blind closed for long periods of time. If the vehicle is stationary for long periods of time, move the upper roller blind into the top position and the lower roller blind into the bottom position. This is to prevent the formation of mildew.
