SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please observe the safety instructions!
Improper operation of the system may
result in personal injury and cause
damage to objects!
1. Unplug the power cord in case of smoke,
smell or unusual noise.
2. Make sure no objects or parts of the body
get caught when operating the motor.
3. The piece of furniture must not be
adjusted in height if other people are
located directly in its vicinity.
4. Do not place any objects or parts of the
body between fixed or movable parts.
5. Height adjustment is only possible in jog
mode. If an obstacle is encountered or
if there is a functional fault, stop the
adjustment immediately.
6. Make sure adjacent objects are placed at
a minimum distance of 25 mm to prevent
them from being squeezed or sheared!
7. Ensure that the safety distances are
25 mm for movable parts (this also
applies for organisational elements which
are fitted above or underneath the
furniture, mounted to adjoining walls or
building parts such as open windows).
8. The protection against uncontrolled move
ment does not prevent objects being
trapped! For physical reasons, „soft“
obstacles are not easily recognised and
evaluated, if at all!
9. In case of hitting an obstacle, slight
damage (scratching, pressure marks, etc.)
to such obstacles may result
(table is lifted at nominal speed)!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10. Do not change or modify the control
mechanism or the operating device.
11. Never open the enclosure of the control
unit or power supply. Unauthorised
opening of the enclosure or improper
repairs may endanger the user and voids
all warranty claims.
12. Only professionals authorised by the
manufacturer may do maintenance
or repair.
13. Do not operate devices in explosive
environments.
14. This furniture is admitted only for the
commercial office area and management
in interiors.
15. This appliance must not be used by any
person (including children) with limited
physical, sensorial or mental abilities or
failing experience and/or knowledge unless
they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or received
instructions about how to use the appli-
ance. Children should be supervised in
order to make sure that they do not play
with the appliance.
16. The manufacturer assumes no liability for
damage resulting from improper use.
17. Connection plug boards must be fixed
properly for easy plugging and unplugging.
Plugs and connection plug boards must be
located in such a way that no fluids come
into contact with electrical equipment
when the office furniture is used properly.
18. The power cable must be secured in the
strain relief. Interconnecting cables may
be run loosely. All lines and cables must
be run in such a manner as to avoid
mechanical damage
(i.e., shearing, abrasion...).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
19. Furniture with flexible or height-adjustable
components require special care. Cables
must be sufficiently long to allow height
adjustments without damaging the cables
and wiring (i.e., stretching, crushing, ...).
20. If the power cord of this equipment
is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, their customer service, or a
similarly qualified person so as to avoid
any risk.
21. Do not spill liquids into the control unit or
power supply unit, as this could cause
electrical shock or short circuits.
22. The operation of the control mechanism
and the power supply unit requires a
minimum of 5°C and a maximum
temperature of 40°C.
For the above reasons do not install the
control unit:
- above or in front of heat sources
(e.g. radiators),
- at places exposed to direct sunlight,
- in small, unventilated or humid rooms,
- near easily flammable materials, or
- near high-frequency devices
(e.g. transmitters, radiation equipment,
or similar devices)

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: In the event of a fault it is
possible that the table top moves a bit
during every attempt whilst operating
before the safety switch off kicks in.
Please take care to avoid the possible
danger of crushing.
Warning: During all reset procedures
(section 5) the collision protection is
not active. Please take care to avoid
possible danger of crushing.
Please note: If the product is visibly
damaged it must not be installed or
used further!
23. After 2 minutes of continuous operation
the system automatically shuts itself off
and cannot be used for an additional
18 minutes. This keeps the motor
from overheating.
24. Do not exceed maximum load of 65 kg.

MOUNT/ADJUST THE MONITOR ON THE SCREEN LIFT
1. Screw the bracket to the monitor.
2. Adjust the support arm of the monitor so that the top edge of the monitor stands about 5 mm back from the screen lift
column (see page 7, no. 5).
3. Reset the column. On the remote control, press both the buttons ““ and ““ until the screen left moves to the bottom
position. Hold them down another three seconds until you hear three beeps. The screen lift has been reset and is ready to use.
4. Attach the monitor and screw it tight.
5. Raise the screen lift until the bottom edge of the monitor is 25 mm above the backboard. Press the "S" button three times
and the ““ key once. The position is now saved (max. lift).

ADJUST THE ARM OF THE SCREEN LIFT
Setting the customer-specific extension limit
This function allows you to limit the height at which the lift mechanism is
extended. The lifting unit is set to the maximum stroke at the factory. If you
want to prevent the lift mechanism from travelling past a position less than
the maximum stroke, use the arrow keys "" and "" to move to this positi-
on. Press the "S/M" button three times, and then press the "" button once.
The position is now saved which will be confirmed by the control unit with a
beep. The lift unit will then only travel to this position.
Overriding the top extension limit
CAUTION Risk of damage!
When raising, make sure that the lift column does slip out of the guide
blocks. At least 1-2 cm of the lift column needs to remain in the guide
blocks. If the lifting unit is returned below this position after overriding the
customer-specific top extension limit, the customer-specific extension limit
that was previously set is reactivated (see above)
To override the top extension, move the lifting unit until it stops. Now press
the S/M button six times, and then press the““button. The column then
moves at half speed up to the maximum extension as long as you hold down
the ““ button.
Read the instructions for the monitor (inclu-
ded) and the screen lift (can be obtained at
bene.com) before startup.
Add here the provided
spacer.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS. CERTIFICATES
Gentle and proper cleaning of furniture surfaces and partition
walls is especially important in retaining their optimum
condition for as long as possible.
We generally recommend cleaning with a moist, fluff-free
cloth, moistened with pure water without the addition of any
cleaning agents; furniture polishes or similar.
If cleaning with a damp cloth proves not to be adequate,
careful use of a mild plastics cleaner without abrasive
additive is admissible on melamine surfaces. Wood polishes
must not be used on open-pored lacquered veneer surfaces
(oak, walnut, ash and bamboo).
This settles into the open pores, closes them and gives the
surface a greasy, glossy appearance after a while. The desired
semi-gloss and open-pored veneer appearance is ruined.
Furniture polishes available off-the-shelf can be used for
closed-pore lacquered surfaces (cherry, beech and maple).
They fill the finest of scratches in the lacquer and cover
them up relatively well.An enhanced glossy appearance of the
surface is difficult to prevent. Never use polishes contain-
ing silicon, caustic cleaning agents with ammonia additives,

alcohol or softeners. The same applies for scratching cleaning
agents with abrasive additives. Glass and material surfaces
are to be cleaned in accordance with manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. Please contact Bene for information and documentation
on this matter.
Bene can not assume any liability for damage to surfaces
caused as a result of improper cleaning.
