Cleaning and care
For inspection or maintenance of the awning, make sure that the power supply for the awning is switched
off and take safety precautions against unintended reactivation.
Check up
Check whether all fastenings and bolts are secured on
a regular basis.
Check regularly whether the electric device works nor-
mally. Do not extract the awning in case of issues or
damages and contact your HORNBACH store.
Fabric
Awning fabric is a high quality product mostly made
from acrylic or polyester fibres (according to the de-
clared properties). It will maintain its quality for years,
if a few requirements are observed.
The local environment has a huge impact on the clean-
ing frequency. Dry environments require less clean-
ing than humid ones. The fabric can be cleaned as
required, but a general cleaning should be carried out
every two to three years and at warm and dry weather
conditions:
1. Extract the awning completely.
2. Brush off loose dirt and debris.
3. Wet the fabric with a garden hose.
4. Mix mild soap with lukewarm water.
5. Clean the fabric with a soft brush from both sides.
6. Let the soap water soak in for ten minutes.
7. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with a garden hose.
8. Let the fabric air dry, do not apply heat.
9. Retract the awning.
FABRIC INFORMATION
Due to its functional requirements and production
methods, awning fabric has specific characteristics
that do not affect the quality of the fabric or reduce its
suitability for use.
•
Creasing occurs during confection and folding of
fabric. Creased areas may look darker, especially on
light colours.
•
Chalk effects, visible as light stripes, can occur dur-
ing production.
•
Ripples in the seam and border can be formed by
multiple layers of fabric, while it is rolled up on the
roller tube.
•
Rain resistance for a light and short rain is given
for impregnated, water repellent fabrics if the pitch
angle of the awning is 14° or more. In stronger or
prolonged rain, the awning must be retracted in or-
der to avoid damage. Wet retracted awnings should
be extracted as soon as possible in order to dry
thoroughly.
WARNING
Frame
The frame is made of powder coated steel and/or alu-
minum components. The rest of the hardware is made
of corrosion-resistant materials. Over time, dust and
dirt will collect on the frame and will require periodic
cleaning. Use a water/detergent mixture and a soft
clean cloth to clean the frame components.
In most situations it should not be necessary to lubri-
cate the moving components of the awning. However,
when squeaking occurs, the use of a silicone spray
lubricant is recommended. Attach a straw to the spray
nozzle of the silicone spray and lubricate the pivot
between the end of the roller tube and the end brack-
ets on both sides. Take care not to overspray on the
awning fabric.
Important: Do not use any petroleum based spray
lubricant.
Battery replacement
For replacement remove the screw of the battery
compartment. Slide open the compartment. Place the
delivered 3 V CR2430 battery with + (plus pole) facing
upwards into the battery compartment and close it
again. Secure the battery compartment with the screw.
