Operation in the event of a power supply failure
An electrically-operated product cannot be operated without
power. A lowered/extended product may be subjected to
impermissible loads when bad weather fronts pass over
and during power failures. This may also result in serious
injury to persons and/or damage to the product.
Manual emergency operation or an emergency power
supply should be considered for windy regions with
frequent power failures.
Accessing the operating element (electrically operated
product)
The operating element is not intended for children to use.
Children are unable to recognize the danger associated
with the product. Persons can become injured from
careless use.
Do not allow children to play with the locally installed
control system or operating element.
The hand-held transmitter must be kept out of the reach
of children.
Operation in wind
The product is only able to withstand the loads associated
with the specified wind resistance class.
The product must be retracted when the specified wind
resistance class is exceeded.
The product should not be moved in any other way
under heightened wind loads.
Operation in icy conditions/winter (general procedure)
Operating the product at temperatures at or below the
freezing point may result in malfunctions and/or damage
if the installation and building situation is unfavourable.
Moisture on the product due to dew, rain or snow can cause
the product to freeze up at low temperatures.
Before operating the product, it should be cleared of
snow and ice so that it can move freely.
Before operating the product, the grooves of the guide
rails should be freed of snow and ice so that the product
can move freely.
Do not operate the product under icy conditions.
Operation in winter (product with control system)
Products operated by means of a control system may start
moving at any time and without prior notice. Moisture on
the product due to dew, rain or snow can cause the product
to freeze up at low temperatures. Operation of the product
may cause damage.
When using a control system without an ice alarm, the
automatic function should be switched off in winter.
Risk of damage to the product
An additional load can damage the product and/or cause it
to detach from the wall.
It is not permitted to hold onto the product or to lean
objects against it.
Freezing of drainage channels in winter
In winter, snowfall may occur. Heat from the sun will begin
to melt the snow. In cold and shady areas, melt water will
refreeze. Down pipes may freeze and burst open.
In areas where temperatures are frequently below
freezing, the installation of an antifreeze device (e.g.
gutter heating) is recommended in gutters and/or pipes.
Dirty drainage pipes
Gutters may clog with leaves, moss and dirt. This may
cause the gutters to overflow when it rains.
Installation of a leaf guard is recommended to prevent
the accumulation of debris in the down pipe.
Gutters without or with an insufficient gradient must be
inspected and cleaned more frequently.

4.1 Cleaning and care
Over time, a film of dirt will settle on the surfaces of sun
shading products due to environmental influences.
Due to the effects of solar radiation, this contamination may
become permanently adhered to the surface coating. These
factors reduce the value and, possibly, impair the function
of the sun shading product.
To contribute to a long service life of the sun shading
product, the surfaces should be cleaned regularly or at
least once a year.
In certain environments such as in industrial zones, close
to heavy traffic and in the vicinity of the sea (salty air), more
frequent cleaning may be necessary to protect against
surface damage.

4.3 What you should know about awning
fabrics
Technical fabrics may exhibit certain characteristics due to
production and sizing that may appear to the operator to be
"faults".
The blemishes described below have no influence on
the usability and durability of the awning fabric [excerpt
from the Guideline for the Evaluation of Preassembled
Awning Fabrics – published by the ITRS Industrieverband
Technische Textilien Rollladen - Sonnenschutz e.V.]:
Wrinkles and folding lines
Wrinkles can be produced when the fabric is assembled
(cut and sewn) and when it is folded. Surface effects (shifts
in pigmentation) can occur in the wrinkles. When viewed
against the light, these resemble dirty marks (especially on
light-coloured fabric).
Chalk lines
These are light stripes of the impregnating material on the
fabric surface. They result from handling the fabric during
production and assembly of the units. Although the fabric
is handled with special care, these effects cannot be fully
avoided in dark fabrics.
Waviness in the seams and fabric panels
As the fabric is wound onto and off of the shaft, it is
tightened more at the borders, seams and panels than
between the seams. The resulting tension in the fabric can
lead to waviness (e.g. waffle or fishbone patterns) that
"digs" into the fabric. The waves are visible when the unit is
open.
Waffling
Because of the production method, waffling may form under
certain weather conditions and in certain fabric sizes. This
effect is more visible in unfavourable lighting conditions.
The formation of waffling is accelerated and enhanced
through wetness (humidity, rain). If a fabric that has been
"softened" in this way is retracted, waffling and wrinkles can
become particularly pronounced.
Weave flaws
Spinning of the yarns as well as warping in the weaving mill
and the weaving process itself is executed under tension.
The yarn may break. This will lead to knots. Irregular thread
thicknesses are seen as light areas or burls in the fabric.
4.4 Spare parts/repairs
CAUTION
Personal injury resulting from inappropriate repairs!
To be able to perform work on the product safely,
it is necessary to be familiar with its functions and
structure. A lack of appropriate product knowledge
may lead to dangerous situations.
The product should only be repaired by a
qualified specialist.
INFO
To ensure that your product will operate properly
on a continuous basis and to avoid changing
its approved status, use original spare parts
only. Contact your WAREMA specialist dealer if
necessary.
4.5 Warranty
Subject to the statutory period of limitation for warranty
claims. This requires regular maintenance. The warranty
does not include wear parts or optical changes in line
with the type of material used (e.g. bleaching of surfaces
caused by UV rays).
