Usage Features:
- Easy Build: The product is designed for relatively straightforward assembly, indicated by the "EASY BUILD" label and the 30-minute estimated assembly time.
- Two-Person Assembly: Requires two individuals for safe and efficient assembly.
- Wall Attachment for Safety: The product includes a wall attachment bracket/strap (N1) for safety reasons. Users are advised to secure the unit to the wall using appropriate screws and wall plugs for their specific wall type (not provided). It is crucial to ensure the wall area is free from hidden electrical wires, water, and gas pipes before drilling. If in doubt, a qualified tradesperson should be consulted.
- Cam Lock System: The assembly utilizes a cam lock system. Instructions specify turning the cam in a clockwise direction until the arrow points to the "2 o'clock lock" position for correct locking. For loosening, the cam should be turned counter-clockwise until the arrow points to the "turn to unlock" position.
- Drawer Functionality: The unit includes two drawers at the bottom, equipped with runners (H38) and catches (E28) for smooth operation and secure closure.
- Adjustable Leveling: While not explicitly stated as adjustable feet, the assembly process for the drawers includes "Loosening" and "Tightening" steps, which might relate to adjusting the drawer alignment or overall stability.
- Product Orientation: Specific components are labeled "Wide" and "Narrow" to guide correct orientation during assembly.
Maintenance Features:
- Pre-Assembly Checks: Users are advised to read the leaflet, ensure they have the right tools and space, unwrap all packaging materials onto a clean surface (using packaging to protect surfaces), and carefully check all parts before beginning assembly.
- Assembly Location: Due to its size, it is recommended to assemble the product in the room where it will be used.
- Post-Assembly Verification: Ensure the product is fully assembled as illustrated and all fixings are fully tightened before use.
- Cleaning: Wipe occasionally with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, then buff with a dry, clean soft cloth.
- Wood Mellowing: Wood will mellow and change color over time. It is recommended to move ornaments and items placed on the surface regularly for the first few months to prevent uneven mellowing.
- Avoid Dragging/Pulling: Do not drag or pull the furniture to prevent damage.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaning: Do not rub or scrub the surface when cleaning.
- Avoid Silicone-Based Polishes: Do not use silicone-based furniture polish, as silicone can break down the finish.
- Avoid Liquid Exposure: Never allow any kind of liquid to remain on the furniture, as absorption can cause wood to warp or finishes to de-laminate.
- Avoid Hot Items: Do not place hot items (e.g., hot drinks) directly onto the wood surface; always use a placemat or coaster.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all fittings and re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Safety Warnings:
- Retain instructions for future reference.
- Keep fittings out of children's reach and keep children well away from the construction area.
- Product should only be used on firm, level ground.
- Do not sit or stand on the furniture.
- Avoid exposing furniture to excessive heat or direct sunlight, as this can cause color deterioration.
