For proper cleaning of the awning cover and the awning frame of your markilux awning, kindly pay close attention to the cleaning instructions
in chapter "Important notes".
In order to eliminate accumulated dirt on the awning frame, only commercially available household detergents for delicate surfaces (pH-
value: between 5 und 8) are to be used. Caustic acids and materials which cause scratches (like fleece containing abrasive material, emery,
sand, pumice etc.) are not allowed, since they could strongly change the surface.
For awnings with a controller, the automatic control is to be switched off beforehand and the wind sensor secured by disconnecting the
power supply!

Accumulations of dirt in the lateral guide tracks (1) may lead to noises
during retraction and extension. The development of noise can be
avoided through regular cleaning and polishing of the contact
surfaces and guide track in the track area (3).
Accumulations of dirt in the lateral guide tracks (1) in the area of the
tracfix system (2) may lead to noises during retraction and extension.
Regular cleaning and polishing of the track profile (3) can prevent
noises.
When the front profile is inclined during the extension
phase of the awning, there is the risk of falling components!
Stop the awning immediately and contact your specialist partner!
The awning must no longer be operated.
If the awning has a motor drive, the power supply must be
interrupted. A tensioning belt included in the awning is possibly
defective and causes possible major damage. The tensioning belts
should be checked for wear or damage on a yearly basis by your
specialist partner. Further information, see "Inspection and
maintenance contract".
We recommend you to conclude an inspection and maintenance contract with your specialist dealer.
Regular inspection and maintenance significantly contributes to extending the service life of a markilux awning. The markilux specialist
partner checks the condition of the awning to detect possible causes of a malfunction or wear in due time. Negative consequences can be
avoided or delayed. Regular care means an attractive appearance and a contribution to value preservation in the long run.
How often cleaning and inspection is necessary greatly depends on the utilisation intensity and the environmental influences.
