• Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and louvers with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Drainage System: Periodically check the hidden rainwater collection system and gutters for debris to ensure efficient drainage.
• Fasteners: Inspect all bolts and connections annually and tighten if necessary.
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to open the louvers to prevent snow accumulation and potential damage to the roof structure.

Troubleshooting

• Louvers not operating smoothly: Check for obstructions in the louver mechanism. Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened but not overtightened, which could cause binding.
