Is your shutter or awning plugged into an outlet or connected directly into the power source of your home or business?
Even though your awning or shutter is not currently operational, make sure it is disconnected from its power source. If it is still connected to power, please disconnect it and discontinue any use of the motorized awning/shutter. Note that as long as it is disconnected from power, you can still operate the shutter/awning by using the manual override system.
Before disconnecting power cautiously consider whether other health or safety equipment are linked to the same circuit. If that is the case and the power cannot be disconnected, DO NOT use the motorized product, either through the motorized system or manually until we can arrange for an inspection of your system.
If the power can not be disconnected, DO NOT use the awning or shutter.
In the meantime, please fill out the form below so we can schedule a visit to determine if you are eligible for a free replacement.
Take a look at the outlet that your awning or shutter is plugged into. Is it a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet that looks similar to the ones in this image?
For more information click here Are you able to locate the circuit breaker?
If so, is it a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) circuit breaker that looks similar to the ones in this image?
We need to test your GFCI outlet to see if it’s operational.
If you have a GFCI outlet tester, please check the outlet and see if power is working. If you don’t have a GFCI tester, you can test the outlet by hand. There are three simple steps:- There should be two rectangular buttons between the two power outlets. Press the test button with your finger. You should hear a snap sound, which will mean that the power is cut off from the two outlets.
- To make sure the power is shut off, plug in a lamp, radio or other handy device. If the power no longer transmits, the GFCI safety function is working properly.
- If the safety function is working, now hit the Reset button to restore power to the outlets.
If you can safely reach the outlet, please disconnect the power and discontinue any use of the motorized awning/shutter. Note that as long as it is disconnected from power, you can still operate the shutter/awning by using the manual override system.
Before disconnecting power cautiously consider whether other health or safety equipment are linked to the same circuit. If that is the case and the power cannot be disconnected, DO NOT use the motorized product, either through the motorized system or manually until we can arrange for an inspection of your system.
If the power can not be disconnected, DO NOT use the awning or shutter, either through the motorized system or manually.
We have all of the information we need! At this point, please continue to the recall registration form and we’ll begin the recall process as soon as possible. Or A representative will be in touch with you soon.
