GENERAL GUIDELINES
· Jardinico Caractère highly recommends that no umbrella, regardless of size
or weight, ever be left unattended in the open position. In windy conditions, it
is further recommended that umbrellas be closed, removed from their base,
and stored, or laid horizontally. This will reduce the risk of damage to your
umbrella, furniture, and other belongings or property. To ensure stability of
your umbrella, please observe proper placement, and use sufcient weight
(base). This catalog contains minimum recommendations for necessary weight;
but this can vary, depending on the conditions in your particular area.
· Sufcient base weight must be used to secure umbrellas at all times. Please see
individual product pages for recommended minimum weight requirements for
freestanding applications.
Note: Wind damage (or any damage caused by acts of nature)
is not coveredunder warranty.
IMPORTANT
Please read this this assembly and operation guide before
installing or operating your umbrella.

FOLD CANOPY
The 100% solution dyed canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed
and shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is
especially important when folding the canopy for seasonal storage or when left in
the closed position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will signicantly extend the life of the canopy.
· When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front of the canopy structure
and begin the folding process by pulling out two panels opposite the mast.
· Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time and fold to the center,
alternating sides until all the panels have been pulled out from the arms and
folded into the center.
· Wrap provided strap around canopy to secure.
· When not in use, cover umbrella with provided protective cover.
Slide internal mast stem cover over internal stem.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING THE JARDINICO CARACTÈRE FRAME AND FITTINGS
· Hose mast and frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a
salty or industrial environment.
· Inspect the installation ttings, mount bolts, rib spacers, etc. on a regular basis
and tighten if necessary.
· Seaside and indoor pool use: Due to demands of both of these environments,
Jardinico Caractère recommends weekly or biweekly cleaning with mild soap
and water to remove the concentrated deposits and protect the powder coat
nish.
MAINTAINING THE JARDINICO CARACTÈRE CANOPY FABRIC
· Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean
absorbent cloth.
· For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil. Wash
down with clean, warm water (i.e., garden hose) every so often to avoid dirt
becoming ingrained. Allow the fabric to air dry before closing the canopy.
· If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap
solution (2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap
residue.
· Never use detergents, cleaning uids or solvents.
· Please visit the fabric websites for more details:
www.jardinico.com or www.sunbrella.com
· Use protective canopy cover during storage or when not in use.
