Residential Patio Awning Helpful Hints:
Whenever the awning is wet while rolled up, as
soon as conditions allow, roll it out and let it dry
before rolling it up again. This will help prevent the
formation of mildew and add greatly to the life of the
awning.
Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the
accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically clean
vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of 1/4
cup of dish soap and 1/4 cup of bleach mixed with
5 gallons of warm water. Liberally slosh the mixture
on the top of the fabric and roll the awning up for 5
minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom as
well. Roll it back out and hose off with fresh water.
Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before rolling up.
Always make sure the awning is fully extended be-
fore opening the entry door.
Wrinkling is a normal characteristic of the vinyl. This
wrinkling may be more noticeable when retracted
and after prolonged periods when the awning is not
used. This condition is normal. Leaving the awning
open in warm weather should minimize the wrinkling
over a period of time.
When To Get More Help:
This User's Guide is intended to provide practical instruc-
tion for the sequential operation of the Residential Patio
Awning. If malfunctions occur that cannot be corrected by
reviewing this Guide, contact a Dometic Service Center or
a qualified service technician for assistance. Do not use
awning until service requirements have been completed.

Preventive Maintenance:

It is suggested the original purchaser provide preventa-
tive maintenance on a yearly basis. The preventative
maintenance suggested is: (a) assure proper winding
of fabric; (b) cleaning of fabric; (c) inspect and lubricate
camlock lever, lift-lock assembly, and hardware slide
areas. The cost of this preventative maintenance is the
original purchaser's responsibility and should take about
one hour.
