General Specifications:
- Material: The product is made of PVC and its components.
- Load Bearing: The load limits stated in the assembly instructions refer to a maximum load distributed evenly on the structure. Exceeding these limits or uneven distribution may cause damage or breakage.
- Stability: The cabinet should only be used on a level mechanical floor. Do not load the structure above the stated limits. The product or parts of it may warp or break. The product should be used with the base resting on a flat horizontal floor so that the structure is vertical and the shelves are perfectly horizontal, and use a suitable instrument such as a builder's level to verify this.
- Wall Mounting: If the cabinet overhangs, it can cause personal injuries. To forestall this risk, the cabinet must be fixed permanently to the wall. To do this, use anchor bolts suitable for the type of support/wall and of adequate capacity for the load.
- Shelf Adjustment: After fixing the wall, the shelves must be positioned and fixed once more, using suitable instruments (builder's level), that the cabinet is aligned. All shelves must be perfectly horizontal and the structure vertical.
Usage Features
The furniture is designed for easy assembly, with clear, step-by-step graphical instructions. Key usage features include:
- Modular Design: The components are designed to be assembled into a complete unit, with specific parts for different sections of the cabinet/wardrobe.
- Adjustable Shelves: The instructions indicate the possibility of adjusting shelf positions (RIP components) to customize storage space according to user needs.
- Door Handles: The furniture includes handles (M-x3) for easy opening and closing of doors. The assembly instructions show how to attach these handles, including a note about "large holes" for handle installation.
- Wall Anchoring: For safety, especially with taller units, the manual emphasizes the importance of permanently fixing the cabinet to the wall using appropriate anchor bolts. This prevents tipping and potential injury.
- Uniform Load Distribution: Users are advised to distribute weight evenly on shelves to prevent warping or damage.
- Environmental Conditions: The product is designed for use in normal environmental conditions (5 °C to +40 °C). Exposure to sunlight may cause the epoxy resin parts to change color. Strong solvents or corrosive substances should not be used on the product.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the furniture with a damp cloth and neutral soap or detergent. Avoid using alcohol or detergents containing solvents or corrosive substances, as these can damage the surfaces.
- Damage Repair: In case of damage, replace any damaged or warped parts immediately.
- Material Elimination: Do not abandon the product or its components in the environment. Follow local regulations for disposal.
- Warranty: The product is guaranteed throughout the territory of the European Union for two years (including the two-year guarantee required by directive 99/44/CE, received in Italy by legislative decree 2 February 2002, n.24) from the purchase date and in normal conditions of use. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and non-conformities. It does not cover damages caused by improper use, assembly errors, or lack of maintenance.
- Documentation: Retain the original sales document and the assembly instructions for future reference.
Safety Precautions:
- The limits of load indicated in the instructions must be strictly observed.
- The cabinet must be assembled manually, without the use of mechanical means, unless specified.
- The structure must be level and vertical, with shelves perfectly horizontal.
- For taller units, wall anchoring is mandatory to prevent tipping.
- Ensure all components are correctly assembled and secured.
- Do not modify the product or use it for purposes other than its intended function.
- Keep the product away from children during assembly.
