Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Proper installation is crucial for the awning's stability and performance. It is typically mounted to a solid wall or a robust overhead structure. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight and forces applied when the awning is extended. Professional installation is recommended to guarantee a secure fit and correct angle for water runoff. Follow the manufacturer's detailed instructions for wall mounting and attaching the crank mechanism.
Compatibility:
This awning is designed for outdoor use on patios, balconies, or garden seating areas. It is compatible with most standard wall types (brick, concrete) when appropriate fixings are used. Ensure sufficient clearance for the awning to be fully extended without obstruction.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fabric with a mild soap solution and water. Use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the fabric is dry before retracting.
- Fabric Care: For minor dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. The PU coating should be maintained by avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Operation: Operate the hand crank smoothly. Do not force it if resistance is met.
- Storage: Retract the awning during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow. Storing it dry and clean will prolong its life.
- Frame: Wipe the aluminium and steel frame with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
