Test
Close the vertical awning entirely
and re-open it.
The awning should not jam.
Otherwise check the fixation
of the angle profiles and of the
guide rails, and ensure, that the
columns are mounted exactly
vertical and level.
Cleaning and care
Fabric
Awning fabric is a high quality product mostly made
from acrylic or polyester fibres (according to the de-
clared properties). It will maintain its quality for years,
if a few requirements are observed.
The local environment has a huge impact on the clean-
ing frequency. Dry environments require less cleaning
than humid ones. The fabric can be cleaned when nec-
essary, still a general cleaning should be carried out
every two to three years and in warm and dry weather
conditions.
1. Extract the awning completely.
2. Brush off loose dirt and debris.
3. Wet the fabric with a garden hose.
4. Mix mild soap with lukewarm water.
5. Clean the fabric with a soft brush from both sides.
6. Let the soap water soak in for ten minutes.
7. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with a garden hose.
8. Let the fabric air dry, do not apply heat.
9. Retract the awning.
Frame
The frame is made of aluminum components. The rest
of the hardware is made of corrosion-resistant materi-
als. Over time, dust and dirt will collect on the frame
and will require periodic cleaning. Use a water/deter-
gent mixture and a soft clean cloth to clean the frame
components.
In most situations it should not be necessary to lubri-
cate the moving components of the awning. However,
when squeaking occurs, the use of a silicone spray
lubricant is recommended. Attach a straw to the spray
nozzle of the silicone spray and lubricate the pivot
between the end of the roller tube and the end brack-
ets on both sides. Take care not to overspray on the
awning fabric.
Important: Do not use any petroleum based spray
lubricant.
FABRIC INFORMATION
Due to its functional requirements and production
methods, awning fabric has specific characteristics
that do not affect the quality of the fabric or reduce its
suitability for use.
•
Creasing occurs during confection and folding of
fabric. Creased areas may look darker, especially on
light colours.
•
Chalk effects, visible as light stripes, can occur dur-
ing production.
•
Ripples in the seam and border can be formed by
multiple layers of fabric during the rolling up on the
roller tube.
•
Rain resistance for a light and short rain is given for
impregnated, water repellent fabrics. In stronger
or prolonged rain, the awning must be retracted
in order to avoid damage. Wet retracted awnings
should be extracted as soon as possible in order to
dry thoroughly.

SOLUTION
Fabric sags and is not tight
Fabric stretches if exposed to rain
Dry the fabric as soon as possible,
as the fabric should not be rolled up
