2 Safety notes
2.1 Fundamental safety notes
Personal injury
Risk of personal injury due to improper use of the awning.
Please read and observe the safety notes contained in this section.
Product and property damage
Risk of damage to the product and property due to improper use of the awning.
Please read and observe the safety notes contained in this section.
Operation
It must be assured that no children or people unable to properly assess the risks of improper or
incorrect use should be able to operate the awning. Remote controls must be kept out of reach
of children.
The installation and setting instructions supplied separately by the manufacturer of the motor,
switches and controls must also be observed.
Use in winds
The awning complies with the requirements of the wind resistance class shown on the CE
declaration of conformity printed in the Assembly Instructions. The wind resistance class
achieved after installation of the awning is heavily dependent on the type and number of fixings
used as well as the installation surface involved.
The awning may only be used up to the wind resistance class specified by the company fitting
the awning. This may deviate from the wind resistance class stated by the manufacturer.

Use in rain
If the awning is pitched at less than 25% = 14°, measured from a horizontal position, it must not
be opened during rainfalls. There is a risk of water pooling in the awning fabric which could
result in damage to the awning.
Use in ice and snow
The awning must not be opened in snowfalls or when there is a risk of frost. There is a risk that
the awning could be damaged.
The automatic controls must be switched off if there is a risk of frost.
Obstacles
The space needed for the awning to open must always be kept clear. There is risk of people
being trapped there.
Automatic controls
An open awning must never be left unattended when open. The automatic controls may fail
under extreme conditions (e.g. loss of power, defects, sudden storms). There is a risk that the
awning could be damaged or crash down.
Our recommendation: if you vacate the area, switch the awning from automatic to manual
control and leave the awning retracted.
If there is a risk of frost, the awning must be switched from automatic to manual control to
prevent it from opening automatically. The unit must not be used in frosty conditions or if there
is a risk of frost.
Operation during loss of power
A motorised awning cannot close if there is no power. In very windy areas where losses in
power are common, consider using a manual emergency device (not included with all models).
The manual emergency device
must be installed at a height of no more than 1.80 metres. If there is a risk of frost,
the awning must be switched from automatic to manual control to prevent it from opening
automatically.
The unit must not be used in frosty conditions or if there is a risk of frost.
In an emergency, if the awning's built-in motor fails and a gale or storm is impending, the
awning can be retracted using ropes or lashing belts as a makeshift solution. In this instance,
wrap a rope or lashing belt around the centre joints of the awning arms and then tighten until
the awning is securely closed. The folding arms must also be secured to the awning frame to
prevent them from swinging out. Roll up the overhanging cloth and tie it to the awning. The aim
here is to give the wind as little area to work with as possible.

Checking and monitoring the awning
For personal safety, it is important that these safety notes are complied with and kept in a safe
place.
•The performance of a product depends on how it is assembled and installed.
•Check the awning system for signs of wear or damage.
•On motorised systems, check the electrical cables and leads for damage.
•Do not use units that are in need of repair.
•Monitor the awning when it opens and retracts and keep people clear of the area until the
awning has fully opened or retracted.
•The assembly work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Guidelines for units with automatic controls
•When performing maintenance or installation work on the covered area of the awning,
disconnect the awning from the power supply.
2.2 Intended use
Awnings are designed to open in order to shade exposed areas from undesired sun. Failure to
use the awning as intended may result in severe danger.
Alterations, such as attaching items or conversions, not envisaged by weinor may only be
carried out with the manufacturer's written consent.
Additional loads on the awning caused by hanging objects from it or by anchoring ropes may
result in damage or cause the awning to fall and are therefore not permissible.
2.3 Improper use
Only use original spare parts on the awning. Only use the awning as a sun protection device.
Never affix/hang heavy objects to/from the awning. Never open the awning or allow it to be
opened in winds stronger than wind class 2.

3.2 Description of construction and function
The weinor Opal Design II/ Opal Design II LED is a cassette awning with a fabric that opens to
protect against the sun. It can be tilted to an angle of between 5° and 40° as desired.
The weinor Opal Design II LED has integrated LED spotlights inside the cassette to create
welcoming outdoor lighting. Space has been left at the openings on the housing for the LED
spotlights to allow water to escape. The cables are suitably splash-protected.
Only high-quality, rust-free materials are used in the weinor Opal Design II. The profiles are
made of extruded aluminium. All connecting parts, such as screws, are made of stainless steel.

4 Cleaning (by the user)
Personal injury
There is a risk of motorised awnings being activated unintentionally.
Disconnect the awning from the power supply (e.g. by disconnecting the fuse) before
doing any cleaning work.
If awnings are operated by several users, a priority locking device must be activated
(controlled interruption of the power supply from outside), making it impossible to
open or retract the awning at all.
4.1 Please note! Stains forming on the fabric!
Dirt blocks the water drain holes in the drop profile.
As a result, water pools along the drop profile. Deposits and rotting residues in this lead to stains
forming on the fabric.
Remove dirt deposits in the water drain holes immediately to prevent stains from forming
on the fabric!
4.2 Please note! Mould and stains forming on the fabric!
If the awning fabric is retracted while still wet, mould and stains may form!
Only retract a wet awning in the event of an emergency (e.g. with the risk of a storm, frost or
snowfall)!
Wet fabric must be dried out as quickly as possible when the awning is open!
4.3 Clean the powder-coated aluminium parts
Saltwater areas
Product damage
In saltwater areas, there is a distinct possibility that salt may disperse or accumulate on the
product.
Wash off any salt deposits at regular intervals or as required, but no less than twice a
year.
Recommendation: call in a specialist company to do the work for you.
This is a good way to protect the aluminium parts and their surface from being
corroded by salty water.
In non-saltwater areas
Clean the aluminium parts at least once a year, and even more often if heavily soiled. To clean,
use clean water and add a few drops of pH-neutral or very slightly alkaline detergent.

5 Maintenance (at least once a year by a suitable specialist retailer)
Personal injury
The safe and risk-free use of the awning can only be guaranteed if the product is checked and
serviced on a regular basis.
Observe the maintenance requirements and maintenance intervals.
Inspect the awning at regular intervals for signs of wear and tear or damage to the
awning fabric and frame.
Check the awning at regular intervals for signs of damage to the cables.
Do not use units in need of repair. Ensure people keep clear of any dangerous areas.
Should you detect any damage, contact a specialist retailer or dealer or a suitable
service company to carry out the repairs.
Check regularly (once a year) that the bracket is mounted tightly on the wall (visual
inspection by shaking the construction).
Check regularly (once a year) that the clamp is firmly fixed.
Carry out maintenance and care tasks as required, once every spring, or whenever the
awning has not been in use for a long time. Performing these tasks will extend the
service life of your awning system.
Our recommendation: call in a specialist company to carry out the necessary
maintenance and care work.
