Care and Maintenance
⚫Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
⚫Use of furniture polishes is not necessary. Should you choose to use polishes, test first in an inconspicuous area.
⚫Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage the finish.
⚫Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
⚫Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
⚫Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft, clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid rubbing.
⚫Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may create
spotting within the furniture finish.

⚫In the event that your furniture is stained or otherwise damaged during use, we recommend that you call a
professional to repair your furniture.

WARNING
Please use your furniture correctly and safely. Improper use can cause safety hazards, or damage to
your furniture or household items. Carefully read the following safety information.
This unit is not intended for use with CRT TVs. The top surface maximum weight capacity is 80 lbs. (36.3 kg) and
maximum load 65 in. (165.1 cm) diagonal flat-panel TV. The shelf maximum recommended weight
allowance is 50 lbs. (22.6 kg). Use with heavier televisions may result in instability causing tip over resulting
in death or serious injury.
Death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio and/or video equipment furniture. A remote
control or toys placed on the furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result may
tip over onto the child.
NEVER allow children to climb or play with the TV or furnishing supporting the TV.
NEVER place toys, food, remote, etc. on top of the TV or TV furnishing.
ALWAYS use either the safety hardware as instructed or other wall anchoring device.
Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not specifically designed to support audio and/or video
equipment may result in death or serious injury due to furniture collapse or over turning onto a child.
NEVER place a TV on furniture that is not intended to support a TV.
NEVER exceed the maximum size and weight of the TV shown in the instructions.
ALWAYS place TV no more than two inches from the back edge of the tower. Placing TV more than two
inches from the back edge may increase the risk that the tower will tip over.
Be sure to refer to the TV warning label as shown in the instructions.
Overloading drawers and shelves may result in furniture that can break or sag, or tip-over which may result in
injury.
NEVER exceed the weight limits shown in the instructions.
Place the heavier items on lower shelves as far back from the front as possible.
Load the bottom surfaces first to avoid top-heavy furniture.
Moving furniture that is not designed to be moved or equipped with casters may result in injury or damage to
furnishings or personal property.
ALWAYS unload shelves and drawers, starting with the top surfaces, before moving.
NEVER push or pull furniture on carpet. Have a friend help lift properly to move and/or reposition it.
The unit is not meant as a seat and no one should be sitting or standing on the top panel.
