A&E Power Patio Awning Helpful Hints:
• Whenever the awning is wet while rolled up, as
soon as conditions allow, roll it out and let it dry
before rolling it up again. This will help prevent
the formation of mildew and add greatly to the life
of the awning.
• Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on
the accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodi-
cally clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a
mixture of 1/4 cup of dish soap and 1/4 cup of
bleach mixed with 5 gallons of warm water. Liber-
ally slosh the mixture on the top of the fabric and
roll the awning up for 5 minutes. This will apply
the mixture to the bottom as well. Roll it back out
and hose off with fresh water. Repeat if neces-
sary. Allow to dry before rolling up.
• Always make sure the awning is fully extended
before opening the entry door.
• Wrinkling is a normal characteristic of the vinyl.
This wrinkling may be more noticeable when re-
tracted and after prolonged periods when the aw-
ning is not used. This condition is normal. Leav-
ing the awning open in warm weather should
minimize the wrinkling over a period of time.
