In windy conditions, the wind will put pressure on the retention system and may even stop the screen from moving. So please be very cautious whilst operating the product.

1. The powder coated metal components and profiles of your awning should be cleaned twice annually or every 6 weeks in coastal environments.  Wash in tepid mild soapy water (preferably biodegradable) and rinse off.  Build-up of dirt and salt on these surfaces reduces the life of the powder coating. Do not use strong bleaches such as pool chlorine. 9. Do not use solvents or other liquid cleansers on the fabric.
2. Lubricate moving components and tracks annually or when required with inox or Revive it R44 (not WD40) and apply sparingly. Avoid getting it on the mesh of the product as it may stain.
3. Roll across only when clean and dry (if rolled across wet, when possible, the product should be extended and allowed to dry in the sun at the first opportunity).
4. To remove dirt from the fabric, brush dry fabric with a soft brush. Remove the cassette cover every 6 months and vacuum inside to avoid dirt build up. Vacuum tracks regularly.
