> CARE AND MAINTENANCE<
When you move the shelving system make sure to lift it
rather than pulling or pushing it, as that would damage
the mountings. We recommend that you tighten up the
screws after one to two months’ use. Wood is a natural
material, which may change in colour and will patinate
over time. To reduce changes avoid placing the
shelving system in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
To avoid permanent stains and scratches, use coasters
under damp, hot or sharp objects. Always remove stains
quickly before they can do any permanent damage to
the surface.
CLEANING
Powder-coated aluminium / Clean with a damp cloth
wrung in a solution of water and a neutral detergent.
Remove soap residue immediately using a clean, dry
cloth. Avoid using scouring cream or scouring pads, as
they may scratch the surface.
Lacquered or stained wood / For daily maintenance, wipe
the surface with a clean, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a
clean cloth wrung in water or in a solution of water and a
neutral detergent (soap flakes) or a care product suited
especially for lacquered or stained wood. Remove soap
residue immediately using a clean, dry cloth. To remove
stains, use a clean, damp cloth wrung in luke¬warm water
with one part vinegar to nine parts water. Follow up
immediately with a clean dry cloth. If the surface is
scratched or appears matt, use lacquer care. Avoid using
detergents containing silicone, as that would seal the
stain in and make subsequent repairs more difficult. Avoid
using scouring cream or scouring pads, as they may
scratch the surface.
Untreated wood / For daily maintenance, wipe the table
with a clean, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a clean cloth
wrung in water or in a solution of water and a neutral
detergent (soap flakes) or a care product suited
especially for untreated wood. Remove soap residue
immediately using a clean, dry cloth. To remove stains,
clean and scrub using a thick solution of soap flakes
that is not allowed to stay on the wood for more than 2
minutes. Then remove the remaining soap residue using a
damp cloth. If the grain of the wood rises after cleaning,
gently sand down the wood using fine-grit sandpaper (No.
220), always going with the grain.
