IMPORTANT NOTES & CAUTIONS/WARNINGS
•Carefully read and follow these instructions for assembly.
•Please handle parts carefully, some parts may be heavy and can have sharp edges –
we recommend possibly using cloth protective gloves for extra protection.
•To protect the unit and your flooring surface we recommend working on a padded
or carpeted area, you may also use the open box the unit came in for this purpose.
•For proper construction & integrity/assembly and for TV weight support and safety,
all connections need to be sufficiently tight. However, do not over-tighten
connections to the point of stripping screw threadings. Parts are designed to fit
together tightly, however, avoid excessive force but rather align & fit panels together
methodically and with patience.
•For some heavy or large units, it may be recommended for 2 people to work
together on this assembly.
•It is extremely important to attach the BACK PANEL as instructed within this manual.
Such panels are crucial for the stability and structural support of the unit.
•Please read additional important safety information at the end of this
instruction manual.
•We urge you to keep this manual with your unit for future reference.
SPECIAL NOTE: In all steps
involving camlocks, please note the
correct position of the camlock in
the illustration at the left. Check all
camlocks before aligning and join-
ing pieces together. IMPORTANT:
Throughout assembly of the unit,

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please carefully read & follow these important safety information notes for proper use of the furniture you have just assembled. They are designed to avoid unsafe
conditions that can result in property damage, bodily injury or death. We therefore urge strict adherence to the following basic principals:
• Install this unit on a flat & level surface only.
• Avoid placing unit in direct sunlight or near heating source. We recommend not placing unit directly against wall but rather leaving a narrow space between unit and
wall for proper ventilation of your A/V equipment.
• Do not exceed the above recommended weight loading limits as this can result in sagging or structural failure of the
supporting panel leading to unsafe conditions.
• TV screen sizes are measured diagonally, therefore, base foot-print size for specific TV’s can not be determined by screen size as they vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. Rather you will need to measure the TV’s base foot print and compare it to the glass top panel surface size of your furniture as listed in this manual.
• Make sure to place TV within the surface area of the top panel, a bit inward from the front edge and centered. Never use with a TV that is too large. The TV base foot
print surface must be able to sit completely on the top panel surface.
• When choosing locations for stacking A/V components on shelves, make sure to place the heaviest A/V equipment on the lowest possible shelves/bottom panels first.
• Children should never be allowed to climb on or play with this furniture or/and the TV. This can result in an unsafe
situation which may lead to the TV and/or the furniture itself to become unsteady, slip, tip or fall over. Avoid using higher shelves or the top surface of the TV for
objects that may tempt children to reach and climb. Such items can include toys, food, as well as remote controls, etc. Proper supervision and common sense is
always required.
• Glass surfaces and doors are “Tempered.” This is a special process for achieving strength and safety. Although durable & solid we recommend avoiding bumping into
glass with force or dropping or chipping edges etc. Special caution should be given to glass corners, both, for protection of glass as well as most importantly to avoid
the possibility of injuries resulting from strong impacts against corners especially with children. Doors should be opened & closed gently. (Tempered glass is designed to
shatter upon very strong impact and rather than producing sharp knife-like dangerous edges, it turns instead into small pebble-like pieces.)
• Moving the unit: Do not drag unit when moving, especially not on a carpeted surface or on a rug. It is always recommended instead to lift unit from both ends with a
friend’s help. For the sake of safety and to avoid damages, we recommend you remove the TV and all A/V components prior to moving this stand. It is a good idea to
remove the glass panel surfaces as well. If this is not possible please use much caution and good judgment and seek help to ensure stability and safety as the stand is
being moved. Make sure afterwards to properly re-adjust glass top and the adjustable leg and all equipment, centered and stable as originally instructed above.
Congratulations and enjoy your new ELITE product!
To clean your unit, apply window cleaner with soft tissue. This will also eliminate slight surface abrasions
or scratches that may have occurred in shipping or handling.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The glass top panel surface (Part #15) is designed to be used with
TV's and other A/V equipment NOT weighing more than 180 lbs.
The loading weight needs to be evenly distributed across top panel and for optimum stability, place TV in a
center position on Glass Top, not unbalanced to the side against edge for example.
Avoid concentration of heavy weight loading, (over 110 lbs.), on a small surface area of less than 311/2" in width.
Also: Note dimensions for Glass Top Panel Surface as listed at the beginning of this manual and
read the following "Important Safety Precautions".
The left and right sections of Part #5, Top Wooden Panel,
are designed to be used with A/V components NOT weighing more than 33 lbs.
Part #1, Bottom Wooden Panel, is divided into three separate compartments.
The left or right sections, bottom surface behind glass doors, are designed to be used with
A/V components NOT weighing more than 33 lbs. per side.
Part #13 Adjustable Shelves, are designed to be used with A/V components
NOT weighing more than 22 lbs. per shelf.
Slide-out Storage Drawers, are designed to be used for general storage of Media-Tape,
A/V accessories etc. NOT weighing more than 19.5 lbs. total per drawer.
For the total unit loading capacity, DO NOT exceed a total of 220 lbs.
