Care and Maintenance
Be careful to never allow water to build up in frames as this will cause corrosion and freeze damage
in cold climates. Wash all frames with a solution of mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and
dry with a soft absorbent cloth towel. Frames can be treated with a liquid wax for maximum
protection against UV rays and/or salty, damp air. If your set includes cushions, slings, and/or an
umbrella they may be cleaned by hand with a solution of soap and water with a clean water rinse.
Never machine wash cushions, slings or umbrella covers as this will result in shrinkage or damage.
After cleaning cushions, tip on end and allow to drip dry. Never use a commercial or home dryer to
tumble dry fabric goods.
Do not use bleach or solvents to clean any product! This will void the warranty.
Lack of original receipt will void warranty!
CAUTION: Read all the instructions before assembly.
Failure to do so may result in faulty assembly and potential injury!
Assemble the item on a soft, non-abrasive surface such as a carpet or cardboard to avoid
damaging the item. Seek assistance to assemble bulky or heavy items.
