Handling and maintenance

• Allow the parasol to dry when open to prevent the formation of mould and
discolouration.
• A protective sleeve protects the parasol and will extend its service life.
• Only pull the protective sleeve over the dry parasol when it is dry.
• Do not clean the protective sleeve in the washing machine. Do not use
chemicals.
• Clean the parasol cover when needed with lukewarm water, fine detergents
and a sponge.
• Do not use any bleach or sharp objects, to avoid damage to the cover.
• Check the tightness of all screws from time to time and tighten them if
necessary.
• If the parasol is located in a highly exposed position, increased wear and tear
must be expected. In such cases we recommend more intensive care and
maintenance.
• In most cases, defective parasols can be repaired by your GLATZ partner.
Only use original replacement parts FROM GLATZ.

Disassembly

Dismantle the parasol if it is not going to be used for a long time.

Wood maintenance

Please observe the following:

– Always sand along the grain of the wood.
– The AURA frame is made of eucalyptus wood, which is a hardwood.
Please take this into account when selecting an oil.
A) Preventative maintenance of the wooden frame (1–2 times annual-
ly, depending on the environment and level of contamination):
1. Remove the canopy from the frame to prevent contamination or oil
stains on the fabric. If only the mast needs maintenance, the canopy
does not need to be removed. However, ensure that the oil/sand
paper does not come into contact with the canopy.
2. Clean the frame (mast and struts) with a fine, clean, damp cloth and
then let dry.
3. Lightly sand the frame (mast and struts) with sandpaper for wood in
240 grit.
4. Remove any sanding dust from the surface.
5. Rub the frame (mast and struts) with a fine, clean, oiled cloth and then
let it dry for at least one hour. Oil cut edges and cut surfaces especial-
ly well.
6. Wipe the frame (mast and struts) with a fine, clean, dry cloth.
7. If necessary, reattach the canopy to the frame.
B) Treating damage (e.g. scratches, nicks, mouldy spots, etc.):
1. Remove the canopy from the frame to prevent contamination or oil
stains on the fabric. If only the mast needs treatment, the canopy
does not need to be removed. However, ensure that the oil/sand
paper does not come into contact with the canopy.
2. First sand the damaged/affected area with sandpaper for wood in 80
grit.
3. Sand the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with sandpaper for
wood in 120 grit.
4. Remove any sanding dust from the surface.
5. Rub the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with a fine, clean,
oiled cloth and then let it dry for at least one hour. Oil cut edges and
cut surfaces especially well.
6. Lightly sand the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with sandpa-
per for wood in 240 grit.
7. Rub the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with a fine, clean,
oiled cloth. Take care not to use too much oil. Allow it to dry for ap-
prox. 15 minutes and then rub the area again with a cloth.
8. If necessary, reattach the canopy to the frame.
