SAFETY INFORMATION

/184
Perhaps the greatest environmental damage to wood furniture comes from wide swings in
relative humidity (RH) in our homes. Wood absorbs and desorbs water as relative humidity
rises and falls, and in doing so it swells and shrinks. Making matters worse, it expands and
contracts unequally along different grain directions. As humidity changes, the components
of wooden objects are continually pushing and pulling against each other. This pressure
often results in parts of furniture no longer fitting together closely or becoming distorted
or breaking from their own internal stresses.
The response to relative humidity changes begins with determining the annual average RH
for your particular space. Then try to keep the RH in the space where your furniture is as
close to that average as possible, generally within about 10% up or down. De-humidify in
the summer and humidify in the winter.
Be aware that raising the temperature lowers the humidity and vice versa. Thus, modern
heating systems, which can drive down interior RH in the winter, almost invariably cause
problems for furniture. To counteract their effect, you can either modify the RH by keeping
furniture containing spaces cooler in the winter or most importantly, have a good working
humidifier for your home. A humidistat automatically works to balance the humidity in
your home so it is constant. Dry indoor air can suck enough moisture from its surroundings
to do permanent damage to wood, causing it to crack or split.
Remember, that not all woods are created equal. Two factors that help determine how
rapidly a wood will lose moisture are pore size and surface hardness. A piece made from a
dense and hard wood will dry less rapidly than pieces made from softer woods.
Furniture that is sealed and lacquered will lose moisture more slowly than an unfinished
piece while pieces with veneer finishes are not only stronger, but lose moisture more
slowly than other finishes.
To help protect your wood furniture, take these steps:
·Use a humidifier, preferably one with an automatic control system that can sense the
humidity level and adjust itself accordingly. Don't over-humidify; that can damage wood
by causing it to expand and contract.
·Keep furniture out of direct sunlight, which can cause it to dry out, crack and warp.
·If you can avoid it, don't put furniture near heating vents. If you must, keep the piece 3
to 4 inches away from the wall, giving the heat and air space to circulate.
·Dust with soft dry cloth.
·Do not use liquid or aerosol products.
·To avoid marking, do not place rubber on surface (foot pads, etc.)
·For soil build-up, wipe with damp cloth & dry.
·Do not use abrasive cleaners.

FURNITURE TIP OVER RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY
Furniture Tip Over Restraint Instructions:
1. Attach one of the mounting brackets securely to the back edge of
the furniture. Use the shorter screw.
2. Determine where furniture is to be placed and mark location on
the wall for mounting bracket screw hole approximately 2 inches
below the bracket mounted to the furniture.
3. Drill a 3/16 inch hole in the wall. Press the plastic anchor into the
hole and gently tap until the flange on the anchor is against the
wall surface.
4. Position the bracket over the anchor and use the longer screw to
securely attach the bracket to the wall.
5. Place the furniture so the back edge is in line with the bracket on
the wall.
6. Lace an end of the nylon zip-tie strap down through each bracket.
Bring both ends together and slide the smooth side upright
through the square-shaped end and pull through to create the
“locked” position.
7. Check to make sure the strap is securely laced and locked to the
brackets.
·DO NOT put a TV or other heavy objects on top of a chest of
drawers or any other furniture not intended for use with a TV
·DO NOT place heavy objects in top drawers
·DO NOT let children climb or hang on drawers, doors or shelves
