Awning maintenance tips
An awning is subject to some adverse situations: humidity, sea air, counterweight, wind, among others. We recommend:
- check the tightness of screws and limit switches after installation and regularly at the beginning and end of each season;
- never roll up a wet awning. Dry it if possible;
- clean the fabric and frame at the beginning and end of each season. Attention, never use detergents.
