CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Tempered glass is a glass that has endured a thermal treatment. If it breaks it breaks into little non-sharp
pieces.
The surface of the tempered glass is smooth, non-porous and easy to clean. When it is tarnished, it has
been treated with acid to give it a milky effect. When it is enamelled the upper side is covered with a
varnished enamel layer by thermal treatment to give it an opaque effect.
Resin wicker PE (polyethylene) is a recyclable plastic material (polyethylene.) Its braiding is done by hand.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different
assembled elements (between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric
differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried
out individually, before assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance irr
egularities coming both from the surface treatment process and assembly operations. The final
appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.
Regularity of the braiding
This garden furniture is entirely hand braided. The braiding technique consists in an intertwining of
synthetic resin strands around a metallic structure. It is possible to observe braiding tension differences.
At each break point, the end of the strand in addition, ranging up to a few centimetres, is inserted into the
braiding. If this strand comes out, put it back in place. There is no risk of the braiding becoming undone.
Synthetic resin imitates natural rattan. Rattan has appearance irregularities that give it its unique
character. The manufacturing process reproduces these variations in look and shade.
2/ Precautions for use
Do not put hot objects on the table itself, they will leave permanent marks on it (discoloration, deformation,
cracks...). Always use table mats.
Do not use a plastic tablecloth on the table. Exposed to UV and heat, it would melt and act as a decal,
especially on steel, aluminum and glass. This would result in irreparable deterioration of the tray in the
form of white streaks. Instead, use a fabric tablecloth.
Avoid thermal shocks on the glass (do not put hot objects directly on the table, use table mats, do not put
icy products if the table is in direct sunlight). The accumulation of this type of thermal shock makes the
glass fragile and can cause it to explode. However this phenomenon remains rare and presents no
danger: the tempered glass explodes into small non-sharp pieces.
Watch out for blows from knives and other sharp objects handled nearby. Watch out too for burns from
cigarettes and from other heat sources.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an alteration
of the colours and the state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the screwed
elements.
