OWNER MAINTENANCE
HELPFUL HINTS
FOR AWNING CARE
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 mildew and
rotting.
Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the
accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically clean
fabric with genuine A&E CANOPY CLEAN™.
Always make sure the awning is extended high
enough before opening entry door.
Apply A&E GO-EASY™ spray lubricant as needed to
keep the awning's moving parts operating smoothly
and to help prevent corrosion.
Abrasion, weather and long hours in the sun are
vinyl's worst enemies. When the canopy is clean and
dry, apply A&E VINYL FORMULA 201 spray with UV
blocker to maintain color and gloss and extend the
fabric's life.

Please note: A slight "travel line"
may appear where the door roller

considered normal and does not
affect the integrity of the awning.
