The greenhouse only requires minimal care and/or maintenance:

1) 

To clean

:  We recommend a treatment similar to those for

washing your car: Rub with a soft brush and lots of water (very mild
soap). Never use abrasive materials as you do not want to scratch
the UV filter on top of the Glazing Panels.

2) The 

pressure  cylinder

  of  the Automatic  Window  Opener

should be removed during  frost season and be kept frost-free.
The rod assembly of the Opener can stay in the greenhouse. Tie
the rod assembly arms together with string or wire while the
cylinder is not in place to prevent the window from blowing open in
stormy weather.

3) Your 

RIGA

 greenhouse should be ventilated as much as

possible especially when condensation develops. (However, high
humidity is preferred by some plants and especially during the
seed-to-seedling  stage).
