Service
Proper and regular cleaning and maintenance and the
use of original spare parts only are essential for fault-free
operation and a long service life.
INFO
When performing product maintenance or working
in the vicinity of the product, such as when cleaning
windows, movement of the product must be
prevented.
A monitored, overriding locking mechanism must
prevent every kind of operation.
WARNING
Risk of injury from operation of the product when it is
out of view!
The product may unexpectedly start moving during
cleaning or maintenance.
De-energise the product and secure it against
being switched on again.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from falling from climbing aid!
Climbing aids (e. g. ladders, scaffolding etc.) may tip
over if improperly erected.
Position climbing aids on level and firm ground.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from falling!
There is a risk of falling during maintenance work.
Take suitable safety precautions to prevent or
arrest falls.
DANGER
Danger of breaking through slats!
When work is performed on the outside of slat roofs,
there is a danger of breaking through the slats.
Injuries may result from falling.
Do not step onto the slat roof.
For integrated awning with easyZIP guidance (if present):
INFO
Fabrics can become electrically charged. Contact
with persons or objects may result in electrostatic
discharge from electrostatically charged fabric.
4.1
Cleaning and care
Over time, a film of dirt will form on the surfaces of sun
shading products due to environmental influences.
Due to the effects of solar radiation, this soiling can become
permanently burnt into or stuck to the surface coating.
These factors reduce the value and may impair the proper
functioning of the sun shading product.
To enhance the durability of the sun shading product, its
surfaces should be cleaned regularly or
at least once a
year.
For awning fabrics, the necessary cleaning interval
depends on the degree of soiling.
In certain ambient conditions, such as those found near
industrial zones and close to heavy road traffic, the sea
(salty air) or swimming pools (air with chlorine), more
frequent cleaning may help to protect against surface
damage caused by these conditions and against the
heightened risk of corrosion.
Purpose of cleaning and care
The benefit provided by regular and proper cleaning and
care is that the value of the product is preserved and its
service life extended. The purpose of repeatedly cleaning
the product is to preserve the well-maintained appearance
of both the building and the product.
Results of cleaning
NOTICE
Product damage from incorrect cleaning!
Incorrect cleaning procedures may result in
damage to the product or product parts. Surfaces
and textures may be permanently altered (e.g.
scratches).
Do not use high pressure washers, steam
washers, abrasive sponges, abrasive cleansers,
or aggressive cleaning agents or solvents such
as alcohol or naphtha.
Do not use chlorinated cleaning agents on or
near the product.
Note in addition for integrated awning with
easyZIP guidance (if present).
Do not wash the awning fabric in a washing
machine or other similar equipment.
Do not rub the awning fabric excessively with a
hard brush/sponge or other hard objects. This
may damage the surface.
Do not raise/retract the awning fabric if it is
damp. This may cause moulding or spotting.
Under no circumstances will claims for damages arising
from these cleaning instructions be honoured, since the
effectiveness of these measures depends on a large
number of factors that vary widely from case to case.
The effort required for cleaning and the cleaning results
themselves depend on the degree of soiling. Surfaces
that have been exposed to the influences of weather over
many years but have not been cleaned are difficult, if not
impossible, to restore to their original condition.
