Operational Requirements and Safety Precautions for Furniture
A period, during which the furniture retains its appearance and serviceability, largely depends on how it is
stored and operated. Follow simple tips to keep your furniture in the best condition.
Light
Do not expose your furniture to direct sunlight. Prolonged direct exposure to sunlight may result in colour
changes in some areas, compared to the rest of the item that has been less exposed.
Temperature
Extreme temperatures, as well as sudden changes in temperature, can seriously damage the furniture or its
parts. Do not place your furniture closer than one metre from heat sources and/or heating devices. The
recommended ambient temperature for storage and operation is from +10 to +25 °C. Do not put hot objects
(irons, dishes with boiling water, etc.) on your furniture, as well as do not expose it to heat radiation (light of
powerful lamps, microwave emitters, etc.) over a long period of time.
Humidity
The recommended relative humidity for rooms with the furniture is 60-70%. Avoid long periods of extreme
humidity and/or dryness, even more so avoid their periodic change. Over time, such conditions can affect the
integrity of your furniture and its parts. If such conditions are observed, it is recommended to frequently
ventilate the room and, if possible, use dehumidifiers/humidifiers to normalise the humidity level.
Do not place your furniture near damp or wet walls or objects.
Aggressive and abrasive products
Keep away aggressive liquids (acids, alkalis, solvents, etc.) or products containing such liquids and their
vapours from your furniture. Such substances and their compounds are chemically active and interaction with
them may lead to negative consequences for you and your property. Also, some detergents or cleaners
contain high concentrations of aggressive chemicals and/or abrasive substances. The use of such
detergents or cleaners is not allowed.
Smell
New furniture may have a natural smell of materials, which it is made from. The smell can linger for 3 weeks
from the date of assembly. To reduce the intensity of such smell, it is recommended:
for upholstered furniture, vacuum clean the item and ventilate the room.
•
for cabinet furniture, wipe the item with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent, wipe with a clean dry cloth, and
•
ventilate the room, pre-opening all doors and drawers of the furniture.
Repeat 3-4 times a day.
Maintenance
Always keep the surfaces of your furniture completely dry. If necessary, wipe the surfaces of your furniture
with a dry soft cloth (flannel, cloth, felt, etc.). It is recommended to clean the furniture as soon as possible after
it gets dirty. If not removed promptly, contamination may leave stains or damage the coating of the furniture or
its parts. For persistent contamination, it is recommended to use special cleaners. Carefully read instructions
how to use a detergent: the product shall be intended for materials, which furniture is made from. Do not use
detergents containing abrasives. Do not use baking soda, washing powders, and other cleaners, not intended
for furniture. Clean the surfaces of your furniture using special detergents.
To remove dust from soft parts of the furniture, use a vacuum cleaner with special nozzles for cleaning
furniture.
Do not place or move objects with sharp corners, edges, and/or protruding sharp parts on the furniture.
Operation
The load on the furniture and its parts (shelves, drawers, seats, etc.) shall not exceed the manufacturer's
standards, specified in the Assembly Guidelines.
It is not recommended to stand on the furniture, jump, or subject the furniture to high dynamic loads.
Periodically, check the tightness of threaded connections of fastening transformation mechanisms and
tighten them, if necessary.
If transformation mechanisms begin to creak, lubricate them with a special lubricant.
When using transformation mechanisms, strictly follow these guidelines, avoid excessive efforts, jerks, and
distortions of mechanism elements.
