Operation
Motorized operation
Awnings are operated using central or local wall-mounted or hand-held controls with an Up / Down / Stop button. The
operating functions of the controls are described in the operating instructions for the controls.
Manual operation
Awnings are operated using an articulated or hook-in crank.
Use
• Facade awnings meet the requirements of the wind classes indicated in the declaration of conformity and may only
remain deployed up to the indicated wind class.
• Facade awnings provide solar shading and may not be used as security equipment.
• Facade awnings that have been retracted when wet (e.g. after rain) must be deployed again after the rain has passed
in order to dry the fabric.
• Facade awnings may not be used if there is danger of frost.
• When operating a facade awning, ensure that no obstacles (flower pots, toys, chairs, etc.) are located in the awning's path.
• Never lower the blind with the window open (European standards and guidelines).
• Make sure, when operating the hand crank, that it runs smoothly.
• When operating the awning manually, do not use force if the facade awning jams. Change the direction of rotation in order
to check if the awning has reached the end of the track.
Maintenance / Inspection
Intervalle
Anually
Periodically
Any repairs are to be made by a specialized company.
Cleaning
Cleaning agents with alkaline, acidic or abrasive active ingredients and pressurized steam cleaning
may not be used!
• The air contains minuscule solid particles that settle on facades and facade parts. Facade awnings are equipped with
various mechanical parts that must therefore be serviced regularly to ensure long-term use.
• Use a cloth, sponge or soft brush to apply lukewarm water with a highly diluted, mild cleaning agent to the awning fabric
or metal parts. Carefully scrub away dirt. It is imperative that you then rinse the awning well with clear water.
• Smaller stains on the awning fabric can be effectively removed with a colorless rubber eraser.
