ly change their colour to silvery grey, and also
roughen the surface. If you want to somewhat retain
their original colour, you should oil them once a
year. We recommend using RMC Hybrid Wood Pro-
tector (www.rmcextremis.com). RMC products for
wood treatment are available all over the world. Visit

Important!
Wood is a living matter and, in spite of the superior
quality provided by Iroko and Hellwood, outdoors
it constantly has to adapt to extreme changes in
temperature and humidity. Due to internal stress
resulting from these constant adaptations the wood
"warps". This warping can among other things
lead to cracking. Changes in colour or wood structu-
re may also appear. These characteristics are typical
of the material and by choosing this material you
accept them.
Should any cracks appear, you can simply sand them
down either by hand using sandpaper or by means of
a hand sander. To protect any galvanised or painted
parts, cover the edges with highly robust masking
tape. Use 80-grit sandpaper and start at the vertical
side of the tabletop. Keep the hand sander parallel to
the edge of the tabletop. Lightly sand the edge until
it is smooth again. Now sand the rest of the tabletop.
Make sure that you always hold the hand sander
parallel to the tabletop. Do not only sand the crack,
but the entire tabletop to obtain a uniform result.
To avoid burrs, sand the top edge of the tabletop by
hand. When you have removed all the burrs, you can
treat the wood with hardwood furniture oil or leave it
untreated, depending on the desired effect.
Galvanised parts
Hot dip galvanisation is the most durable way of
protecting metal against rusting. If the zinc coating
is damaged, the exposed metal can rust. This can
easily be touched up with zinc paint that automati-
cally has the same colour and is readily available in
shops. Galvanisation is a thermal process that can
slightly deform the material. Other metal protection
methods do not have this disadvantage, but the
quality they offer is insufficient.
Powder-coated parts
Clean with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. DO
NOT USE abrasive scouring powders or scourers as
they will scratch the surface.

Magic sponge
Only use the Miraclean sponge when normal cle-
aning with lukewarm water, soft soap and a normal
sponge isn't sufficient!
If stubborn stains remain visible after treatment
according to the instructions (see product manual),
you can use the MiraClean sponge provided. Dip the
sponge in water and rub it over the stain. Do not rub
too hard with this sponge as this might cause dull
patches on a surface.
There is no need to use cleaning products. Water
alone is sufficient.
This sponge is made of melamine resin and wears
away with use. The sponge is very easy to use and
gives results up to 26 times more quickly than a
traditional microfibre cloth.
The magic sponge gets rid of most stubborn stains
without extra effort.
Never use this sponge on highgloss surfaces as it
may cause dull patches.
The magic sponge is the solution for getting rid of
stubborn stains such as felt-tip pens, grease, scuff
marks, limescale marks or coffee and tea stains.
The magic sponge can be used on tarpaulin fabric,
plastic profiles, glass, steel, chrome, aluminium,
porcelain, artificial leather and many types of floor.
