tropitone Cabana Club Collection User manual

Tropitone natural stone tops are warranted for a period of three (3) years
from the date of delivery to the end user against structural failure due to
defects in the materials or workmanship.
Natural stone tops (Granite, Marble, Travertine, etc.) are made with
durable, high quality natural stone. They are hand crafted, making each
piece unique. There is naturally some variation in the color, texture,
veins and gloss levels. This variation is normal and not warrantable.
Tropitone tabletops are designed for normal, outdoor use in a residential
setting. However, all natural stone tops require periodic maintenance to
preserve their natural beauty. This maintenance will help protect the
surface from deterioration, staining, and in some cases cracking which
can occur if left unsealed. THIS WARRANTY SPECIFICALLY DOES
NOT COVER STAINS, FADING OR DISCOLORATION IN ORIGINAL
COLOR, TEXTURE, OR GLOSS, OR DAMAGE DUE TO
NEGLIGENCE, IMPROPER MAINTENANCE (SEE CARE AND
MAINTENANCE GUIDE), ACTS OF GOD, OR ALTERATIONS OR
MODIFICATIONS OF ANY KIND, MADE BY ANY PERSON OR
PERSONS, AFTER THE PRODUCT HAS LEFT TROPITONE. THIS
WARRANTY SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT COVER SCRATCHING,
CHIPPING AND PITTING THAT NORMALLY OCCURS IN NATURAL
STONE SURFACES. MOISTURE CAN BE ABSORBED INTO SOME
NATURAL STONE WHICH IS POROUS OR VEINED, WHICH CAN
THEN FREEZE AND CAN CAUSE THE STONE TO CRACK. THIS IS
NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
HELPFUL HINTS
Regular periodic care of your Tropitone furniture will maintain its
appearance and functionality better than occasional, heavy duty
maintenance. Consider the specific conditions and usage to which your
product is exposed so appropriate maintenance is provided.
Mildew can form on dirt or other substances deposited upon the fabric.
Regular cleaning of outdoor furniture will help to prevent its forming.

Fabric & Woven Panel Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your Tropitone furniture, cushions and
woven panels should be cleaned on a regular basis. Substances such as
food morsels and dirt should not be allowed to accumulate and embed in
the fabric or woven panels.
For normal cleaning, prepare a solution of 1/4 cup of mild soap per
gallon of warm water (less than 100º F / 38º C). Use a soft bristle brush
or a sponge to clean the fabric and panels. The soap/water solution may
be allowed to soak into the fabric.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow cushions to air dry by standing
the cushions on their side.

Stainless Steel Frame Cleaning
Remove cushions and accessory pillows to prevent staining of fabric;
cleaners used on stainless steel may not be appropriate for fabric.
Unsnap cushions by gently pulling the snap at the connection to the
cushion. Stack on a clean and dry surface.
Apply a cleaning solution with 1/4 cup (2 oz.) mild liquid soap in a gallon
of lukewarm water (100º F / 38º C) using a soft, clean cloth. Rub with the
grain of the metal. Rinse furniture thoroughly with clean water.
Dry thoroughly to prevent streaks, rubbing with the grain. Thorough
rinsing and drying will remove detergent and allow the metal to “breathe”,
preventing corrosion.
Install seat cushions and snap into place. Install back cushions and snap
into place. Notice corner module back cushions have a left and right
back cushion. Replace accessory pillows.
The following should NOT be used - damage may occur:
XBleach or cleaners containing bleach (can cause corrosion)
XHydrochloric acid or cleaners with chloride (can cause corrosion)
XAbrasive pads or cleaners (will scratch or polish finish)
XRubbing motion against metal grain (can change finish)
Stain or Rust Removal
Should a stain or rust occur on the stainless steel, promptly clean the
deposit. Lingering stains can become permanent. Rust can permanently
etch or pit the stainless steel.
Apply a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner / polish. FOLLOW THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. Test in an inconspicuous spot to
insure original finish isn’t altered. Remember to rub with the metal grain
(not in a circular motion). Rinse furniture thoroughly with clean water.
Finally, dry thoroughly to prevent streaks, rubbing with the grain.
If the stain or rust remains, you can use a Scotch-Brite® No Scratch
Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge or a Scotch-Brite® General Purpose Hand
Pad 7447 to polish the stainless steel. It is critical to rub with the metal
grain (not in a circular motion). Rinse furniture thoroughly with clean
water. Finally, dry thoroughly to prevent streaks, rubbing with the grain.
Caution: Salt or acid (from coffee, wine, orange juice, tomato juice,
lemon, etc.) can discolor stainless steel if not cleaned up promptly.
Seaside / Indoor Pool areas: Stainless Steel products used in seaside
or indoor pool settings will require more frequent cleaning to remove
chloride deposits to prevent corrosion and etching.
Natural Stone Cleaning
Spray stone surface with stone cleaner. FOLLOW THE MANUFACTUR-
ER’S INSTRUCTIONS. Wipe off with a soft, absorbent cloth. Repeat on
heavily soiled areas, allow cleaner stand for about one minute before
wiping off.
Caution: Alcohol or acid (from coffee, wine, orange juice, tomato juice,
lemon, etc.) can etch stone sealer if not cleaned up promptly. This will
promote staining.
The following should NOT be used - damage may occur:
XBleach or cleaners with bleach
XCleaners containing lemon or orange
XScouring sponge or pad
XAbrasive powders or liquids
XGlass cleaners
XVinegar
XAmmonia
Note: If a detergent is used on stone surface, a soap film will develop.
Clean with a stone cleaner to remove the soap film.
Natural Stone Sealing
Sealing with quality stone care products will help to protect the granite,
marble or travertine from absorbing liquids and staining. In a residential
setting, sealing on a twice yearly basis should be sufficient. In a
commercial environment, more frequent sealing will be needed.
Sun exposure and other factors increase sealing frequency. If liquids
darken or discolor the stone surface, sealer recoating is necessary
immediately. Test by allowing water to remain for ten (10) minutes and
observing the stone surface. If the stone darkens or absorbs the liquid,
immediate sealing is needed.
FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER’S NATURAL STONE SEALER
INSTRUCTIONS IS CRITICAL FOR GOOD RESULTS. Sealing with a
penetrating (or impregnating) sealer will provide a protective coating to
stand up to the daily use of stone cleaners, and normal exposure to
liquids while minimizing opportunity for liquids and stains to penetrate the
stone. Multiple coats of sealer may be needed on porous stone. Repeat
penetrating sealer application until sealer isn’t absorbed by the stone.
When sealing the stone, protect stainless steel frames from the sealer. If
the sealer contacts the stainless steel, immediately rinse the stainless
steel with clean water, and dry thoroughly. Sealer will prevent the metal
from “breathing”, and promote corrosion.
Should your natural stone incur a stain, contact a local stone resource for
products and guidance regarding stain removal. Stain removal is difficult
– in some cases, only fading of the stain will be achieved. It is far better
to prevent stains with proper cleaning and sealing.
