The Kettler Palma Day Bed is a versatile piece of garden furniture designed for residential use, offering multiple configurations for relaxation and comfort. This manual provides detailed assembly instructions, user instructions for various configurations, and important maintenance and care guidelines to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the product.
Function Description:
The Palma Day Bed serves as a multi-functional outdoor seating and lounging solution. Its primary function is to provide a comfortable space for relaxation in a garden or patio setting. The day bed can be configured in several ways:
- Standard Seating: It can function as a two-seater sofa with a raised canopy, offering shade and a cozy environment.
- Seating with Centre Table: A hidden centre table can be raised between the two seats, providing a convenient surface for drinks, snacks, or other items.
- Extended Day Bed: The seats can be pulled forward and the backrests lowered to transform the unit into an extended day bed, allowing users to recline fully. This configuration is ideal for sunbathing or extended lounging.
The design incorporates a canopy that can be raised or lowered, offering flexibility in terms of sun exposure and privacy. The inclusion of seat pads and cushions enhances comfort across all configurations.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Product Code: 0193363-3310/5510
- Material: The furniture frame is constructed from a durable wicker material, designed to be left outdoors all year round.
- Cushions: The cushions are made from a fabric that is not suitable for dry cleaning or machine washing, requiring sponge cleaning.
- Recyclability: The product is 100% recyclable, emphasizing environmental responsibility at the end of its life.
- Warranty: The Kettler Palma Day Bed comes with a 3-year warranty against manufacturing faults for domestic use. This warranty does not cover commercial use, misuse, or accidental damage.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The assembly process is straightforward, involving grasping and raising backrests, and attaching seats to the main frame. Seats are designed to "click" into place for secure attachment. The canopy is raised as a final step in the initial assembly.
- Raising the Centre Table: To use the centre table, cushions must first be removed. The table is then lifted and moved into a secure, raised position. Once secured, seat pads and cushions can be replaced around it.
- Extending the Day Bed: To transform the unit into an extended day bed, the seat pads and cushions are removed. The seats are then pulled forward, and the backrests are lowered. After the extension, the seat pads and cushions are placed back to complete the day bed setup.
- Safety: Users are advised to keep the product out of reach of children during assembly due to small parts. The working area should be clear of hazards. Packaging materials should be disposed of safely to prevent suffocation risks, especially for children. Regular checks of components for correct function, damage, and loose connections are recommended, particularly at the start of the season and at 1-2 month intervals. Damaged parts should be replaced immediately with genuine Kettler spare parts.
- Sunscreen and Oil-Based Products: A critical usage note warns that painted/varnished surfaces can be damaged by sunscreens and oil-based products. If contact occurs, the surface must be cleaned without delay to prevent lasting discolouration.
Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: Kettler furniture should be cleaned at the beginning and end of each season using warm soapy water only. Abrasive chemicals or cleaning agents should never be used.
- Cushion Care: Cushions are not machine washable or suitable for dry cleaning; they should be sponge cleaned. Kettler recommends using their fabric care kit for cleaning and protecting cushions. Cushions should be stored in a dry, ambient temperature when not in use to maintain warranty validity.
- Stain Removal: Food and drink residue, tree sap, and bird droppings should be removed as soon as possible to prevent staining. Marks can be cleaned with neat mild detergent and a soft cloth, then washed off with water.
- Table Protection: Hot items should not be placed directly on the table; coasters should be used to protect against heat and water rings. Sharp or heavy items should not be dropped on the table, and care should be taken when placing items to avoid scratches.
- Wicker Care: To extend the life of the wicker product, the use of Kettler's wicker cleaner and protector from their after-care range is recommended.
- Moving Parts: Locking mechanisms, catches, and joints should be lubricated where necessary to ensure smooth operation.
- Covers: Kettler recommends using Kettler tailored covers (if available) or universal breathable covers to protect the furniture.
- Warranty Conditions: Failure to comply with the outlined care instructions for cushions will invalidate the warranty. The warranty is only valid for domestic use and requires registration at www.kettler.co.uk with the product code.
The Kettler Palma Day Bed is designed for comfort, versatility, and durability in an outdoor residential setting, provided the user adheres to the specified assembly, usage, and maintenance guidelines.
