radiation. They should not be considered security equipment.

tions before using the awnings for the first time.

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Facade awnings that have been retracted when wet (e.g. after rain) must be deployed again after the rain has passed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 during snowfall or 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
Interval Location (depending on type) Task
Anually
Soiling of the guides
Check guides and remove any soiling
and foreign objects (e.g. leaf debris,
etc.)
Cable tension
Check cable tension
Retension or replace cabletensioner if
necessary
Periodically
Awning fabric and hinged arms Check for damage or excessive wear
Awning fabric and Box Remove leaf debris and foreign ob-
jects
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 fab-
ric 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.

MAXIMUM ADMISSIBLE WIND SPEEDS FOR GRIESSER FACADE AWNINGS
External facade awnings are not designed to withstand strong winds. Pursuant to standard EN 13561, the manufacturer
must determine the maximum wind speed above which the external facade awning must be retracted.
Correspondence between wind classes and maximum admissible wind speeds for Griesser facade awnings:
Maximum admissible wind speed
Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4 Class 5 Class 6
7,8 m/s 10,6 m/s 13,3 m/s 16,7 m/s 21,1 m/s 25,6 m/s
28,0 km/h 38,0 km/h 48,0 km/h 60,0 km/h 76,0 km/h 92,0 km/h
The values in the table apply with the following reservations:
Product dimensions and use comply with the Griesser technical data sheet.
Installation, fastening and operation are carried out in accordance with installation and operating instructions.
The products should be installed in the soffit / directly on the facade, with the curtain < 100mm away from the facade.
If the distance from the facade is between 100 and 300 mm, the value in the table must be reduced by 1 class.
Selecting the wind resistance class depends on the national standard in the country where the product is installed.
