However, by turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the type of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened upwards and the window will be tilted in order to allow air circulation through the space at the top of the frame. This is a great solution to allow ventilation without having to open a large windows, which can be a safety risk if it is not secured properly when opening.

The sash can be fully opened by turning the handle 90@ or 180@.
