SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If a top or panel should become cupped, do not be alarmed. The panel was flat when it was
manufactured. It is a natural characteristic of wood in an unfinished state to cup from
uneven moisture conditions. The figure at the right shows an exaggerated view of what
could happen. This only means that the convex side has absorbed moisture, or
the concave side has dried out.
Usually a cupped panel will equalize and straighten out if both sides are
exposed to similar conditions for a day or so.

INSTRUCCIONES ESPECIALES
Si la tapa o uno de los páneles se pandea, no se preocupe. En el momento de su fabricación los páneles se encontraban planos.
La madera no tratada tiene la propiedad natural de arquearse en condiciones variables de humedad. En la figura a la derecha
se muestra una representación exagerada de los efectos que se pueden producir. En este caso el lado convexo ha absorbido
humedad o bien el lado cóncavo se ha secado.
Los paneles encorvados suelen emparejarse al cabo de uno o varios días si ambos lados son sometidos a condiciones unifor-
