Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 352936 FLORABEST

What tools are required for assembly?

You will need a suitable drill, measuring tape, cross-head screwdriver, spanner, and hex key. These are not included in the package.

How many people are needed to install the awning?

At least two people are required due to the size and weight of the awning frame.

Can the awning be used in windy conditions?

No, the awning is rated for wind speeds up to 20 km/h (Wind Resistance Class 0). Retract the awning if stronger winds are expected to prevent damage or injury.

What is the maximum load on the non-retractable parts?

The maximum load on non-retractable parts is 15 kg. Do not hang or place heavy objects on the awning structure.

How do I clean the awning fabric?

Clean with water only and wipe dry with a cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or leave the awning wet to avoid mildew.
