Usage Features:
- Two Drawers: Provides ample storage for various items, helping to keep the bedside area clutter-free.
- Compact Design: Suitable for placement in bedrooms, even those with limited space.
- Wall Fixing Strap: Includes a wall fixing strap (P) and screws (M) to secure the unit to the wall. This is a crucial safety feature recommended to prevent the furniture from tipping over, especially in households with children.
- Adjustable Drawers: The assembly instructions for Step 20 suggest that the drawers may have some adjustability to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The furniture should be cleaned only with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Abrasive cleaners or bleach should not be used. Spills should be removed immediately to prevent staining. Regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth or duster is recommended.
- Fittings Check: Periodically, all fittings and screws on the unit should be checked and re-tightened if they become loose. This ensures the stability and longevity of the furniture.
- Sunlight Exposure: Strong, direct sunlight can dramatically affect the color of the furniture. It is advised to avoid prolonged exposure and to periodically move ornaments or items placed on the surface to allow for even mellowing of the color.
- Surface Protection: Mats and coasters should be used under items placed on the furniture's surface to protect it from heat, liquids, and scratches. If items have rubber feet, mats are also recommended to prevent marking.
- Movement: When moving the furniture, it should always be lifted rather than dragged across the floor to prevent damage to the joints.
- Floor Protection: If placing the furniture on a wooden or laminate floor, ensure that any plastic or felt protectors on the feet are securely fitted and in place to prevent scratches.
- Repair: If the furniture becomes stained, scratched, chipped, or suffers other damage, professional help is recommended for restoration.
- Wall Fixing Maintenance: The wall fixing strap should be checked from time to time to ensure the wall plugs or screws do not become loose, maintaining the safety of the unit.
Safety Advice:
- Assembly Area: Keep children and animals away from the assembly area as small parts can pose a choking hazard.
- Packaging Disposal: All plastic wrapping materials should be kept away from babies and children to avoid suffocation and disposed of carefully and responsibly.
- Two-Person Assembly: It is recommended that two people assemble this product for ease and safety.
- Wall Drilling: When drilling into walls for the wall fixing strap, always check for hidden wires or pipes. Ensure that the screws and wall plugs used are suitable for supporting the unit. If unsure, consult a qualified tradesperson.
- Wall Plug Selection: The manual provides detailed guidance on selecting appropriate wall plugs for different wall types (standard, general purpose, shield anchor, cavity fixing, heavy-duty cavity fixing). Always use a larger screw and wall plug if unsure, match the drill bit to the plug and hole size, drill horizontally, and ensure the plug fits tightly.
- Furniture Tipping: The wall fixing strap is crucial to prevent accidental tipping, especially by children. Furniture can be dangerous if incorrectly installed. Assembly should be carried out by a competent person, and no liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by incorrectly installed or assembled furniture.
