4. Operating Instructions

Using the Mosquito Netting:

• The gazebo includes integrated mosquito netting to protect against insects.
• To close the netting, simply pull the panels together and zip them up using the attached zippers.
• To open, unzip the panels and tie them back to the gazebo legs using the provided fabric ties.

Using the Ceiling Hook:

• A sturdy ceiling hook is located at the center of the gazebo's inner roof structure.
• This hook can be used to hang lightweight decorative items, such as lanterns or small chandeliers.
• Ensure that any item hung does not exceed the weight capacity specified in your detailed manual to prevent damage or injury.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Fabric Canopy and Netting: Clean with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing or re-attaching. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
• Steel Frame: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately to prevent rust.

Inspection:

• Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Inspect the fabric for any tears, fraying, or signs of wear. Repair small damages promptly to prevent them from worsening.
• Check anchoring points for security, especially after strong winds.

Storage:

• During severe weather conditions (heavy snow, strong winds, etc.), it is recommended to remove the canopy and netting to prevent damage.
• For long-term storage, clean all fabric components, ensure they are completely dry, and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Gazebo Instability: Ensure all frame connections are tight and the anchoring plates are securely fastened to the ground. Verify the ground surface is level.
• Water Accumulation on Canopy: Ensure the canopy is stretched taut and properly installed to allow water runoff. Clear any debris that might obstruct drainage.
• Fabric Tears/Damage: Small tears can often be repaired with fabric repair kits. For significant damage, contact customer support for replacement parts.
• Difficulty with Zippers: Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if they are stiff.
