CARE AND MAINTENANCE
You have purchased a quality product that will give you years of
enjoyment. By following these simple maintenance steps you
will add to the life of your new table.
THE TABLE TOP
The top (playing surface) of your table is made of particle board.
Like all products made of wood, it can be affected by atmospheric
changes in both temperature and humidity. This may cause a
slight sag of distortion as the top expands of contracts. This is
normal and should not cause concern as it does not detract from
the play or utility value of the table. After assembly of the table,
you can minimize the effects of temperature and humidity
changes by storing the table in the folded up position in a dry area
when table is not in use.
STORAGE OF YOUR TABLE.
This table must be stored indoors to prevent damage to the
playing surface. Dampness and extreme temperature changes
can cause the wood to warp, swell, crack, or blister. When your
table is not in use, it should be folded up in a dry area. Due to the
nature of particle board, table top may bow. Damp and humid
conditions will amplify this. This is normal and will not affect
playability of the table.
CLEANING YOUR TABLE.
To clean your table use a soft damp NOT WET cloth only. To
prevent damage to your table's playing surface DO NOT use any
chemicals, abrasive, or cleaning products on your table's playing
surface.
This table must be kept indoors to prevent damage to the playing
surface. Dampness and extreme temperature changes which
occur on patios or similar areas can cause wood to warp, swell,
crack, or blister.
UNLEVEL FLOORS
If table does bot seem level, it is probably due to uneven or unlevel
floors. Set the table in its playing position and move table several
inches in different directions to find the best location for the table.
If the floor is extremely unlevel, table may not play or operate
properly. If table is high in the center, shim up under the outer legs.
