This document provides user instructions for the Drip table, models HW58-HW60, designed by Hee Welling in 2021. It guides users through the assembly process and offers essential information regarding the product's use and care.

The Drip table is designed for indoor use and is intended to be a functional piece of furniture. Its assembly involves several steps, starting with the construction of the frame, followed by the attachment of the legs and, finally, the tabletop. The design emphasizes a secure and stable structure, with specific instructions for tightening screws to ensure correct fit and stability. The assembly process is designed to be manageable, though it is recommended that two or more adults handle the tabletop to prevent damage and ensure safety during lifting.

Assembly Process:

The assembly begins with the frame construction. Users are instructed to insert the corners (C) into the long and short frames (D & E). These components are then attached using flat head hex screws (F). A crucial detail highlighted in this step is to ensure that the two small holes on the corners (C) face upwards. It is also important to install these screws only slightly at first, and then tighten them all completely once all components are in place. This approach allows for minor adjustments during assembly, ensuring proper alignment before final tightening.

Following the frame assembly, the leg section is prepared. The frame is placed upside down, and the four legs (B) are aligned in each corner (C). Two long button screws (H) are used in each corner to connect the legs to the frame. This step further solidifies the table's structure, preparing it for the tabletop.

Next, the cover components (J) are placed on each of the four corners (C) and secured with hex socket head cap screws (K). These components likely serve both an aesthetic purpose, covering the connection points, and potentially a functional one, providing a smooth surface or additional stability.

The final step involves attaching the tabletop (A). The tabletop should be placed upside down on a soft, flat surface to protect its finish. The assembled frame is then placed on top of the tabletop, also upside down. Short button screws (G) are used to connect the tabletop to the frame. Similar to the initial frame assembly, these screws should be installed slightly at first and then fully tightened to ensure a correct and secure fit. Once all connections are made and tightened, the table can be flipped over and is ready for use.

Usage Features:

The Drip table is designed for general indoor use. Its robust construction, once properly assembled, provides a stable surface for various activities. The design, by Hee Welling, suggests a focus on modern aesthetics combined with practical functionality. The instructions emphasize the importance of correct assembly to ensure the product's longevity and safety.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides specific cleaning instructions for the different materials used in the Drip table: laminate and aluminum (powder coated or polished).

For laminate surfaces, cleaning should be done with a soft cloth wrung in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. After cleaning, it is essential to wipe the surface with a dry soft cloth to prevent water spots or streaks. For more stubborn stains, such as coffee or tea, a nylon bristle brush with a mild household cleaner or detergent can be used. The instructions recommend rinsing with clean water and repeating the process if necessary, followed by a thorough rinse with water. This detailed guidance ensures that the laminate surface is maintained without damage.

For aluminum components, whether powder coated or polished, cleaning should also be performed with a soft cloth wrung in lukewarm water. A key instruction here is to dry the aluminum immediately with a soft cloth. Users are explicitly warned against using abrasive cleaning products, such as steel wool, as these can cause damage to the surface finish of the aluminum. This highlights the need for gentle care to preserve the aesthetic and structural integrity of the metal parts.

Safety Precautions:

Several safety precautions are outlined to ensure the safe handling and use of the Drip table:

Packaging Disposal: Users are advised to dispose of plastic bags from the packaging responsibly and to keep them away from children to prevent suffocation hazards.
Intended Use: The table is strictly intended for indoor use. Using it outdoors may expose it to elements that could damage its materials or compromise its stability, voiding any potential warranty or responsibility from the manufacturer.
Tabletop Handling: The tabletop should be handled with care to avoid scratching its surfaces. This suggests that the tabletop's finish, whether laminate or another material, is susceptible to damage from rough handling.
Lifting the Table: It is recommended that two or more adults lift the table. This precaution is likely due to the table's size and weight, ensuring that it can be moved safely without injury to individuals or damage to the product.

General Advice:

The manual stresses the importance of reading the instructions carefully and retaining them for future reference. It also emphasizes that &Tradition, the manufacturer, is not responsible for faults or damages resulting from not following these instructions correctly or from modifying the product in any way. This underscores the need for adherence to the provided guidelines for optimal product performance and safety.
