PROTECTING THE SUNSETTER FRAME Your SunSetter Awning contains extruded and die cast aluminum components. These aluminum parts are powder-coated for long lasting beauty. We have included a bottle of color-matched touch-up paint with your Awning in the event that some area of the painted surface gets scratched during installation. Please use as needed. General Care and Maintenance CAUTION: Prior to Operating the Awning, Be Sure That No Objects or Persons Can Come in Contact With it as it Opens and Closes.
Care and Maintenance - SunSetter Woven Acrylic Fabrics SunSetter woven acrylic Fabrics are made of 100% solution-dyed acrylic fiber and have a special finish which delays the formation and accumulation of dirt. To preserve this finish, cleaning of the Fabric must include the following. Standard Maintenance • Thoroughly remove the dust from the dry Awning Fabric by vacuum cleaning, gently beating or brushing. • Then clean with a prolonged spraying of lukewarm water and a mild soap while gently brushing.
Care and Maintenance of Your Electric Motor and Remote Transmitter WARNING: ANY PERMANENT WIRING OF THE AWNING MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN PER YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem with Appearance Solution Fabric wrinkles when the Awning is opened/closed The Awning Fabric has a hem along each side; some wrinkling is a characteristic of the extra thickness along those edges. This wrinkling may be more noticeable when retracted and after prolonged periods when the Awning is not used. This condition is normal. Lateral Arms (elbows) are not even when Awning is retracted Each Lateral Arm is individually connected to the Awning assembly Top Brackets.
TROUBLESHOOTING - Continued Problem with Motor or Gear Assembly Solution Can I “hard-wire” the Awning Motor into my home? SunSetter cannot be responsible for any changes in electrical configuration of the Motorized Awning. Have your electrician contact Somfy (motor manufacturer) directly via their website www.somfysystems.com. Note: Some maintenance procedures such as resetting communication between the Remote Transmitter and Awning require power to be interrupted.
