Cleaning and maintenance

A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Never clean the awning with a high-pressure washer.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sharp objects during
cleaning, as these can damage the product.
• Do not use solvents to clean the fabric.
➤ Apply silicone spray lubricant as needed to keep the awning's moving parts
operating smoothly. For ease of operation on hardware, rub candle wax on all
sliding surfaces.
➤ Whenever the awning is wet whilst rolled up, as soon as conditions allow, roll it
out and let it dry before rolling it up again. This will help prevent mildew and rot-
ting.
➤ Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and
grime. Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic:
– Use a mixture of 1/4 cup dish soap, 1/4 cup bleach and 19 l of fresh water.
– Soap the open awning with this mixture.
– Roll it up.
Rolling up of the awning will apply the mixture to the underside of the fabric.
– Let it stand for five minutes.
– Unroll the awning and hose off the top and bottom with clean water.
– Repeat if necessary and allow to completely dry.
