For integrated awning with easyZIP guidance (if present):
INFO
Fabrics can become electrically charged. Contact
with persons or objects may result in electrostatic
discharge from electrostatically charged fabric.
4.1 Cleaning and care
Over time, a film of dirt will form on the surfaces of sun
shading products due to environmental influences.
Due to the effects of solar radiation, this soiling can become
permanently burnt into or stuck to the surface coating.
These factors reduce the value and may impair the proper
functioning of the sun shading product.
To enhance the durability of the sun shading product, its
surfaces should be cleaned regularly or at least once a
year.
For awning fabrics, the necessary cleaning interval
depends on the degree of soiling.
In certain ambient conditions, such as those found near
industrial zones and close to heavy road traffic, the sea
(salty air) or swimming pools (air with chlorine), more
frequent cleaning may help to protect against surface
damage caused by these conditions and against the
heightened risk of corrosion.
Purpose of cleaning and care
The benefit provided by regular and proper cleaning and
care is that the value of the product is preserved and its
service life extended. The purpose of repeatedly cleaning
the product is to preserve the well-maintained appearance
of both the building and the product.
Results of cleaning
NOTICE
Product damage from incorrect cleaning!
Incorrect cleaning procedures may result in
damage to the product or product parts. Surfaces
and textures may be permanently altered (e.g.
scratches).
Do not use high pressure washers, steam
washers, abrasive sponges, abrasive cleansers,
or aggressive cleaning agents or solvents such
as alcohol or naphtha.
Do not use chlorinated cleaning agents on or
near the product.
Note in addition for integrated awning with
easyZIP guidance (if present).
Do not wash the awning fabric in a washing
machine or other similar equipment.
Do not rub the awning fabric excessively with a
hard brush/sponge or other hard objects.This
may damage the surface.
Do not raise/retract the awning fabric if it is
damp. This may cause moulding or spotting.
Under no circumstances will claims for damages arising
from these cleaning instructions be honoured, since the
effectiveness of these measures depends on a large
number of factors that vary widely from case to case.
The effort required for cleaning and the cleaning results
themselves depend on the degree of soiling. Surfaces
that have been exposed to the influences of weather over
many years but have not been cleaned are difficult, if not
impossible, to restore to their original condition.

Re-impregnating the awning fabric(if integrated awning
with easyZIP guidance is present)
INFO
The cleaning agent and fabric impregnation have
opposing effects. By thoroughly rinsing off the
cleaning agent with clear water, you can preserve
the water-repellent property of the awning fabric for
a longer time.
Every time the fabric is cleaned, the original
protective function of the awning fabric is slightly
diminished. Depending on the fabric type, a
reimpregnation can renew the water-repellent effect
and is therefore recommended.
Only use impregnating agents that are suitable for
awning fabrics.
Re-impregnation cannot restore the awning fabric to
its original new condition.

4.3 What you should know about awning
fabrics (if integrated awning with easyZIP
guidance is present)
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).

Service
2029839 [Rev. 3 - en]/2019-03-22 Page 19 | 24
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.
