Windows with Siegenia-Aubi fittings, adjustment, lubrication

In Russian open spaces, there are mainly three models of fittings produced by the German company Siegenia-Aubi: Favorit, Titan and A300. There are no fundamental differences in the adjustment of all three types of products; in cases where any nuances arise, this will be reported additionally.

Experts from the manufacturer recommend that users of the fittings carry out only lubrication themselves; mechanical adjustment will be difficult for a person who does not have the appropriate professional skills; in such cases, it is better to seek the help of service specialists.

However, you may need to make simple adjustments to a window equipped with Siegenia-Aubi fittings. We will tell you how to fix basic problems using a minimum number of tools and without removing the window sash from its hinges.

Adjusting windows with Siegenia-Aubi fittings

In Russian open spaces, there are mainly three models of fittings produced by the German company Siegenia-Aubi: Favorit, Titan and A300.
There are no fundamental differences in the adjustment of all three types of products; in cases where any nuances arise, this will be reported additionally. Experts from the manufacturer recommend that users of the fittings carry out only lubrication themselves; mechanical adjustment will be difficult for a person who does not have the appropriate professional skills; in such cases, it is better to seek the help of service specialists.

However, you may need to make simple adjustments to a window equipped with Siegenia-Aubi fittings. We will tell you how to fix basic problems using a minimum number of tools and without removing the window sash from its hinges.

So how can you properly prepare Aubi windows for winter yourself?

First, think about what bothered you last winter? How are things going with Aubi windows now? Do they open well? Were there any puddles on the windowsill during heavy rain? How does the window handle turn? With or without effort? As expected, does the handle go all the way down? Or not? As they say: cleanliness is the key to health! In our case, regular removal of accumulated dirt and lubrication, plus timely adjustment (adjustment) of the windows, significantly increases the service life of the Aubi window mechanisms. The question arises: how to properly wash an Aubi window so that it does not get damaged? You can safely wash the Aubi window with ordinary soapy water and a soft sponge. We soap the glass (double glazing), the Aubi window profile, the slopes, the window sill, and then wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Check the drainage channels (they are at the bottom of the window frame), maybe they need to be cleaned? It is also important to know how to adjust Aubi windows, but more on that below.

Main types of adjustment

Tool – 4mm hexagon; but for some types of adjustments, you may need a screwdriver and a special wrench, usually included with other fittings.

Eliminating sash sagging

Vertical adjustment of a sash with Siegenia-Aubi fittings using a screw in the bottom hinge

To eliminate this problem, you need to remove the decorative trim from the bottom hinge, find a vertical screw at its end, insert a hexagon into its recess and, rotating it, lift the sash. This adjustment method allows you to move the sash within +_ 2 mm. This adjustment is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

Vertical and horizontal tightening of the sash relative to the frame

Horizontal adjustment of the lower part of the window with Siegenia-Aubi fittings

Another problem is the end of the sash that is farthest from the hinges touching when closing the frame (or difficult opening). This problem can occur due to thermal shrinkage of the frame. The way to eliminate it is to tighten the sash to the hinges using horizontal screws of the upper and lower hinges.

On the bottom hinge, this screw is located on the side. It is located in a plane parallel to the plane of the window, and is visible both when the sash is open and when the sash is closed. By rotating it with a hexagon, you can pull the sash to the bottom hinge.

Horizontal adjustment of the top of the window with Siegenia-Aubi fittings

To find the adjusting screw at the top of the window, you need to open the sash and look at its end. It's at the very top. By rotating it with a hexagon, we can tighten (or move) the sash in the direction of the upper hinge.

Likewise, by choosing the direction of rotation of these two screws, frame distortion can be eliminated.

Adjusting the pressure of the sash to the frame

An eccentric pin of Siegenia-Aubi fittings, with the help of which the pressure of the frame to the sash is adjusted

Like all brands of fittings, Siegenia-Aubi is equipped with the function of moving the window from winter to summer position and back (strengthening or facilitating the pressing of the sash to the frame). This translation is carried out using eccentric pivot pins located around the perimeter of the sash.

Unlike most fittings, for Siegenia-Aubi models these trunnions can be equipped with both a recess for a hex key and a slot for a screwdriver. In total, there can be up to 10 such trunnions along the perimeter of the fittings; When adjusting the tightness of the sash against the frame, you should try to rotate them to the same angle relative to the neutral position. You can navigate by the notches made on the ends of the trunnions.

Pressure adjustment in the upper scissors of the Siegenia-Aubi fittings

  • By turning the short notch towards the seal, you loosen the pressure.
  • By turning the long notch towards the seal, you increase the pressure.
  • Another pressure adjustment point is located on the Siegenia-Aubi fittings in the upper scissors. This screw can be seen if you open the window and look at the scissors from below. By rotating it, you can adjust the pressure within +_ 1 mm.

Rebated hinge of Siegenia-Aubi fittings with pressure adjustment point

If your windows have a bottom rebate hinge, there is another pressure adjustment point on it. It is also visible when the sash is open. By turning the screw in the rebate hinge, you can also move the sash in the range of +_ 1 mm.

A feature of adjusting Siegenia-Aubi fittings is the need to use a special 11-mm key when rotating the powerful anti-burglary trunnions.

Most often it is supplied together with fittings; however, it’s not difficult to pick one up in a store.

Adjusting the pressure of plastic doors with your own hands

The lifespan of any item can be significantly extended if you know how to properly care for it. Adjusting plastic doors - pressure, position relative to the vertical - are mandatory preventive measures that must be carried out regularly to avoid their failure.

Regardless of where the plastic door is installed - at the entrance or on the balcony, its main task in the cold season is to retain heat. To do this, it is equipped with special rubber seals and a clamping mechanism that can be easily adjusted.

How to determine the need for adjustment

Seasonal adjustment

The change of seasons in our climatic conditions is accompanied by significant changes in temperature and humidity, which require the transfer of plastic doors and windows to the appropriate operating mode.

The following activities must be carried out at least once every six months:

  • Cleaning door hardware with a hard brush to remove dirt and old grease.
  • Cleaning all elements of the door frame and frame with a damp cloth.
  • Lubricate mechanisms and seals with silicone grease.
  • Adjusting the pressure of the plastic door with switching to the appropriate seasonal mode.

Fittings Siegenia Aubi

Siegenia Aubi fittings are designed for windows of various shapes. Whether it is rectangular, arched or trapezoidal windows, such fittings look equally attractive on all types. It is noteworthy that fixed windows do not require fittings.

Features of fittings

The materials have a wide variety of products, using which you can provide the missing properties to windows. By installing classic fittings, the window will be able to perform its basic ventilation functions, that is, open and close. However, it is possible to install additional elements that will protect the windows from breaking or allow you to regulate ventilation.

It is important to note that Siegenia Aubi fittings can be perfectly combined with any type of window. In this case, the sashes can have different types: blind, rotary or tilt-and-turn. This material is ideal for balconies or interior doors, providing warmth and safety. After completing the installation work, you can give the window useful properties and functions. It is possible to replace elements. This is done so that the window acquires new capabilities. A positive factor is that the window parts are similar in shape and can occupy different positions, be it on the left or on the right. There is also a high cycle of opening and closing window frames.

Siegenia fittings range

The Siegenia company traces its history back to 1914. At that time, the world was on the threshold of the First World War, so it is not surprising that the brand name comes from the German sieg (“victory”). And although Germany never won that confrontation, over the next hundred years the concern managed to achieve revenge and take a leading position among the world's manufacturers of high-quality window fittings

Over the entire period of its fruitful activity, the company has developed and implemented a wide range of parts that ensure trouble-free operation and long service life of double-glazed windows. Today, the range of Siegenia fittings is represented by seven innovative lines of accessories designed for installation on metal-plastic, aluminum and wooden windows. These include:

  • folding supports;
  • anti-burglary locking plates;
  • hinge groups for sashes of different weights;
  • sash lifters;
  • brake scissors;
  • faulty fuses;
  • pin drives;
  • balcony latches;
  • slot ventilation;
  • window handles.

The most popular model range from the manufacturer is considered to be Siegenia Titan fittings, which have received the prestigious ift quality certificate. According to brand representatives themselves, if window accessories were awarded prizes for innovation, the Titan series would certainly win the Grand Prix. Products from the Favorit, Trident and A-300 lines are no less popular among consumers

Sealing the seams of an Aubi window with thermal insulation materials

In case of improper installation, sealing the seams with thermal insulation materials may be the only solution. Sealing installation seams and joints with special heat-insulating materials is one of the most effective ways to insulate Aubi windows.

How can I seal the street seams of an Aubi window?

- polyurethane foam, which must be plastered or covered with strips

- mineral wool, which must be covered with strips

- polystyrene foam, which must be covered with strips

— liquid rubber (STIZ)

How can I seal the internal joining seams of an Aubi window?

- silicone sealant

- acrylic sealant

— cosmofen (liquid plastic)

The described problems with Aubi windows can appear due to poor-quality installation of a metal-plastic structure or during a long service life - longer than 10 years. During installation, installers had to familiarize themselves with the design properties of Aubi windows and teach owners how to use Aubi windows.

The end of summer, the beginning of autumn is the time to prepare Aubi windows for winter. If you take care of Aubi window insulation in advance, you will definitely not freeze at home in winter!

Advantages of fittings

As practice shows, a person who has encountered Siegenia fittings at least once does not “change it” again. The reason for this is a large number of advantages that provide each consumer with high comfort and ease of use of double-glazed windows. The main advantages of accessories include:

  • Modularity. The presence of modular elements makes it easy to modernize the window system and provide it with new functions. Siegenia fittings components are suitable for windows of any configuration, including arched and curved shapes, making them easy to replace at the client’s request.
  • Burglary resistance. Accessories have a burglary resistance class up to RC3, which guarantees reliable protection against intruders. Consumers do not have to worry about uninvited guests, since many pens from the brand are equipped with reliable Secustik mechanisms, locking buttons or limiters on the key.
  • Resistant to wear, corrosion and high humidity. Windows equipped with Siegenia fittings can be opened for ventilation in any weather conditions, since the products are protected from slanting rain. A special resistant coating completely eliminates the formation of corrosion processes and contributes to the durability of accessories without changing their original appearance.
  • Aesthetics. The products have high aesthetic appeal and fit perfectly into any interior. They can be integrated both into classic window systems and into double-glazed windows with an original design. Window handles and many auxiliary elements are presented in a wide range of colors that fully meet the requirements of modern architecture.
  • Easy installation. The products are easy to install and can be easily replaced in case of wear. Some lines, such as Siegenia Titan fittings, provide the possibility of automatic fastening, which is very important for window manufacturers.

Honest reviews from our clients

Trident Series

The Trident model range is designed to equip window structures in which the sashes open outward. The functioning of mechanisms from this series of Siegenia fittings is carried out according to the principle of an anti-burglary drive and is based on the interaction of a trunnion with an additional hook equipped with a strike plate.

As an option, Trident drives can be equipped with child safety locks installed at the height of the handle on the locking side. In this case, when the window is opened, the restrictor comes into action, allowing you to limit the opening of the sashes to a width of up to 10 cm. When closing, it changes its position to the safety cocking, which ensures high safety during the operation of the double-glazed window.

Checking the tightness of an Aubi window (how to check where the air is blowing from an Aubi window?)

If in summer the problem of blowing out Aubi windows worries us little, then in winter we don’t want to freeze at home. So, three ways to detect a blowing Aubi window. We check the windows for blowing, look for where the Aubi is blowing from the window.

The first way to check the tightness of an Aubi window : using a sheet of paper, half an A4 is quite enough. We open the window sash slightly and expose half of the sheet to the street, close the sash, and lower the handle all the way down. Important! The sheet of paper should not fall on the locks that are installed on the window frame, otherwise it will simply be bitten and the experiment will be carried out incorrectly. We pull out the sheet. Three options: the sheet flies out with a whistle, the sheet comes out with difficulty, it feels like the sheet is about to tear. Important! Thus, the entire perimeter of the window sash is checked. If in most places of such a check the sheet comes out freely (flies out with a whistle), the seal needs to be replaced. If the sheet comes out with difficulty in most places of inspection, the problem of window tightness can be solved by adjusting and lubricating the window. If the sheet is about to tear in most places of inspection, you do not need to do anything with the Aubi window. You won't be able to blow Aubi from this window!

The second way to check the tightness of an Aubi window : using a soap solution. Do you remember how you were looking for a hole in a bicycle tube?))) We make a soap solution. Apply Aubi around the perimeter of the window. Where the bubbles appear is where it blows.

The third way to check the tightness of an Aubi window : using a candle flame. Carefully move a burning candle around the perimeter of the window. Where the flame fluctuates, from there the Aubi blows from the window.

Accessories from the Favorit series

When choosing Siegenia fittings, you should pay attention to the Favorit line, which has versatility and interchangeability of parts. The mechanisms of the model range operate on a modular principle and allow the user to increase the level of protection against burglary. This solution is achieved through the new generation of FAVORIT Si-line S-ES accessories, which provide individual shaping of the operational properties of the basic set, taking into account the requirements of the window system.

One of the variations of the line is the improved Favorit Si-Line model range. It contains a powerful mushroom-shaped pin that can withstand a tensile force of up to one and a half tons. The distinctive feature of the series is the seven sash pressure points, which contribute to increased window tightness.

What to do with the pen

One of the hardware parts that is used most intensively is the window handle. But incidents happen to her too. It happens that the handle is faulty, it is motionless and the plastic window cannot be opened. This is possible if certain actions were performed incorrectly before and the blocker was triggered. You can correct the situation by releasing the lock itself. For more information about handle repair, watch this video:

Adjusting door mechanisms

It is located at the end of the frame. The adjusted locking tongue should be parallel to the seal

This can happen if, due to careless handling, they tried to move the window handle too quickly from one position to another. Therefore, after completing the adjustment, it is necessary to make all movements as smoothly as possible.

Another problem that may force the owner of a window structure to adjust the handle is those cases when it becomes loose or requires replacement. You will have to rotate the bar installed to cover the base of the part, tighten the discovered screws and then carefully return the bar to its place. For more information, watch this useful video:

When performing any actions related to the adjustment of roto fittings, you must remember that such systems and devices cannot tolerate rough or careless handling.

Do not tighten the adjusting screws too much in an attempt to get rid of drafts. Maximum pressure causes rapid failure of the seal, which will need to be replaced. In some cases, the entire window system must be replaced due to careless handling and non-compliance with the rules.

Fittings Siegenia Titan AF

Many consumers prefer Siegenia Titan AF fittings, which have proven themselves to be an ideal component for creating a comfortable living space. When developing it, the company's engineers implemented the modular principle of forming a window structure, according to which the double-glazed window is assembled like a designer - using ready-made components.

A key element of the range is the unique trunnion, which automatically compensates for differences in installation tolerances. Compared to previous models, in the Siegenia Titan AF series of fittings it received many characteristic features:

  • a specific mushroom-shaped shape, which greatly simplifies the closure of the sash;
  • extension ability, allowing you to increase the range of regulation;
  • rotation of the external component when secured to the locking plate, guaranteeing softness and smooth operation of the window.

In addition to the trunnion, the Siegenia Titan AF hardware includes many other new options. For example, the frame has a burglary protection function, and the improved design features of the scissors contribute to the smooth movement of the sash when it is moved to the folding position.

Design differences between fittings from different companies

PVC window fittings from different manufacturers have a similar design and operating principle. At the same time, each company has its own technological map, so adjustments to the position of window structures may vary according to the following criteria:


  • The amplitude of movement of the structural element - depending on the brand, ranges from 0.8 to 3-5 mm vertically, horizontally or pressing force.

  • The shape of the adjusting screw head , which determines the choice of the desired tip of the working tool for its rotation.
  • Design of locking pins (eccentrics) - some parts are made in the form of rings with different wall thicknesses or oval shapes. Manufacturers such as Roto have made the surface multi-edged or serrated, making it possible to switch winter or summer modes with your fingers or pliers.
  • Number of degrees of freedom of the sash - premium fittings are equipped with more functions than cheaper analogues.

Advice. Thus, before adjusting the fittings of double-glazed windows at home, you should study the operating instructions for a specific brand of locking elements and hinges.

Additional functionality

Along with the basic functions, Siegenia fittings have many additional features that can significantly increase the functionality of double-glazed windows. These include electronic and mechanical safety elements, the use of electric motors, limiting and adjusting the width of the opening for tilting or turning the sash. Since the brand always keeps up with the times, the latest models of accessories use smart home technologies, thanks to which windows can be controlled via a smartphone and other remote systems.

    Features of adjustment of the A300 system

    Anti-theft trunnion for Siegenia-Aubi fittings

    On the A300 system, the anti-burglary roller is located at the lower corner of the sash. It is believed that this increases the burglary resistance of the fittings when the sash is in the tilted position.

    Another feature of the A300 is the use of roller pins, which serve to soften the movement of the locking mechanism. To make it easier to work with these trunnions, they can be “snapped out”. In other words, pull it out 2 mm, hooking it with your fingers or pliers.

    The A300 system also has its own characteristics and eliminates the illegal operation of the window lock from improper opening. This triggering occurs if the user moves the handle too quickly from the open window position to the tilted window position or vice versa. In this case, the lock does not have time to operate correctly and fixes the handle in an intermediate position, preventing the window from being locked.

    Unlocking a window with fittings A 300

    To eliminate this problem, you need to find a thin spring-loaded plate near the handle and press it against the seal, then gently turn the handle to the position you need.

    If this does not work, then you need to check whether the sash is strictly in a vertical position. If not, then manually set it vertically and again try to turn the handle to the correct position. If it doesn’t work again, then the breakdown is serious. We need to call a specialist.

    In other designs of Siegenia-Aubi fittings, the elimination of illegal blocking of the handle is carried out in the same way as with most fitting systems: by manually aligning the clip of the locking mechanism into a vertical position.

    Lubricant areas for Siegenia-Aubi fittings

    All experts confirm the importance of lubrication of Siegenia-Aubi fittings. No matter how reliable it is, German quality must be taken care of in the German punctual manner.

    • For lubrication, either WD40 automobile oil, or household machine oil (with which grandmothers lubricate their sewing machines), or silicone grease is used.
    • Do not lubricate with substances containing acids or resins.
    • For lubrication, it is best to use an oil can with a tubular spout.
    • All adjusting screws, locking pins, and other rubbing parts need increased lubrication. The remaining parts of the fitting perimeter can be lubricated by dropping 1-2 drops of oil (lubricant) onto them. In the diagram, the image of an oil can indicates places that need increased lubrication.

    Independent replacement of hardware parts is not allowed!

    The only exception is the handle. The procedure for replacing it is intuitive. You need to turn the decorative strip covering the mounting screws (screws) 90 degrees, unscrew the screws, and remove the handle. Replace it with a new one, tighten the screws, and replace the decorative strip. In a similar way, you can install a comb - a multi-position ventilation regulator.

    Adjusting Siegenia-Aubi fittings

    Independent removal of the sash with a hinge is not allowed!

    Although fundamentally it is no different from removing a sash with a hinge in other designs.

    The procedure is as follows:

    • 1. The top hinge pin is unlocked and removed.
    • 2. The sash is tilted towards itself and removed from the lower hinge pin.
    • 3. Reinstalling the sash occurs in the reverse order.

    Differences in the circuit for other manufacturers

    Depending on the manufacturer and modification, each fitting is adjusted differently, using a specific tool. The following describes the features of adjusting mechanisms, depending on the brand of the product.

    Veka


    One of the best window companies in Russia. The fittings used by the brand can be adjusted in all directions.
    The maximum play of the sash can reach 8-12 mm in each direction, depending on the year of manufacture of the product.

    A distinctive feature of the trunnions produced by us is that they are equipped with an anti-burglary washer. Adjustment is carried out with an internal hexagon at the end of the element.

    KBE

    The company specializes in the production of economy-class window structures for closing cold and warm circuits. During production, fittings of group 2 are used - up to 40 thousand complete opening and closing cycles.

    The adjustment of the hinges is carried out according to the same principle as the previous version, and the cylindrical eccentrics are equipped with universal heads, which are designed for both a hexagon and a standard slotted screwdriver.

    Sigenia (Si Aubi)

    A well-known German manufacturer of accessories, whose production facilities are located in our country. Despite the attractive price, the product configuration allows for slot ventilation. The owner of the premises should pay special attention to adjusting the pressure of the lower hinges in the flap mode, as well as adjusting the locking mechanism of the scissors.

    Vorne

    Russian manufacturer of economy class. Adjustment is carried out by rotating internal hexagons or a slotted screwdriver. The maximum clamping amplitude is no more than 0.8 mm. When adjusting the sashes vertically and horizontally, special attention should be paid to synchronizing the settings, since weak metal is easily deformed when stress concentrations occur.

    Gu

    A German brand with its own factory in Moscow supplies fittings in the mid-price category. The shutters are adjustable up to 6-9 mm in any direction by turning standard hexagon screws. The clamping play when switching between winter and summer modes is up to 1.2 mm.

    Trunnions are produced in two types: oval or ring, with walls of different thicknesses.

    On a note. In order not to make a mistake in the adjustment, there is a mark on each part, indicating the summer settings of the mechanism.

    Roto


    It is considered one of the most high-tech types of fittings in the world.
    A feature of the mechanisms of this Roto brand is the simplified adjustment of the trunnions for clamping, or when switching modes. Each side surface of the eccentrics, depending on the model, is made in the form of a polygon or a gear wheel, which ensures their easy rotation, without the use of tools.

    Lubrication of fittings and adjustment options

    All experts confirm the importance of lubrication of Siegenia-Aubi fittings. No matter how reliable it is, German quality must be taken care of in the German punctual manner.

    Lubricant areas for Siegenia-Aubi fittings

    • For lubrication, either WD40 automobile oil, or household machine oil (with which grandmothers lubricate their sewing machines), or silicone grease is used.
    • Do not lubricate with substances containing acids or resins.
    • For lubrication, it is best to use an oil can with a tubular spout.
    • All adjusting screws, locking pins, and other rubbing parts need increased lubrication. The remaining parts of the fitting perimeter can be lubricated by dropping 1-2 drops of oil (lubricant) onto them. In the diagram, the image of an oil can indicates places that need increased lubrication.

Replace it with a new one, tighten the screws, and replace the decorative strip. In a similar way, you can install a comb - a multi-position ventilation regulator.

    Adjusting Siegenia-Aubi fittings

    Independent removal of the sash with a hinge is not allowed!

    Although fundamentally it is no different from removing a sash with a hinge in other designs.

    The procedure is as follows:

    • 1. The top hinge pin is unlocked and removed.
    • 2. The sash is tilted towards itself and removed from the lower hinge pin.
    • 3. Reinstalling the sash occurs in the reverse order.

    Characteristics of the Aubi A300

    • Fasteners - secure the fittings in the groove and facilitate installation work.
    • The presence of a patented rotating roller that performs the functions of locking and facilitating the movement of fittings. Provides wear resistance of fittings, the ability to adjust height and pressure.
    • Lifting device (microlift) - to compensate for sagging of the sashes: ensures long-term and reliable operation of the lift both when the sash of the structure is rotated and in the tilted position.
    • A300 Safety Plus! — two-stage locking system, can withstand loads of up to 1.5 tons.
    • The ability to install a special drive for pivoting windows - allows you to use the ventilation function, adjust the opening length of the sash, and rotate the window handle 90-180o.
    • Special compensator - to eliminate vibration of the sash in the open position and drafts.
    • A fuse built into the bracket prevents self-closing of the tilted sash in the presence of drafts.
    • A300 Safety Plus! Parallel Abstell Fenster is a system designed for the safe ventilation of pivoting plastic windows; the opening size of the sash along the entire perimeter from the frame is 6 millimeters.

    Warm contour

    Windows can most easily be made cheaper by simplifying the locking mechanisms, which is most often unnoticeable to the average person. Locking mechanisms are essentially a design, and the manufacturer himself determines what kind of windows he makes - for the Far North or for non-residential premises (the requirements for them are completely different).

    According to statistics, 93% of plastic window manufacturers resort to unjustified reduction in the cost of windows:

    • use inexpensive sets of locking mechanisms with plastic elements;
    • install mechanisms without the ability to adjust hinges and sash pressure;
    • they establish a minimum number of pressure points, focusing at best on European climate standards.

    In our harsh winters, these reductions in price result in the inevitable problems of blowing, freezing and icing of windows. The service life of such a truncated set of fittings for plastic windows does not exceed two years, after which the windows cannot be repaired.

    The reinforced set of “Warm Contour” mechanisms was developed to create windows suitable for use even in the Far North.

    Additional clamping elements

    The climatic tests carried out made it possible to determine the required number of additional pressure points to ensure the best tightness along the entire contour of the window.

    The number of pressure points depends on the size of the window and changes proportionally as the size of the opening sashes increases. The figure shows an example for a window size

    Regular plastic window

    Has only 5 pressure points. It is blown, frozen and icy.
