Designed for versatility and durability, this table is ideal for various outdoor activities, including camping, picnics, and garden use.

Safety Instructions
To prevent injury or damage to the product, please adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Always verify the stability of the table before each use. Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked into position on a flat, stable surface.
- Do not exceed the maximum recommended weight capacity of 120 Kilograms. Overloading can cause the table to collapse.
- Be aware of pinch points when unfolding, folding, or adjusting the table's height. Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts.
- Children must be supervised at all times when near or using the table to prevent accidents.
- Do not stand or sit on the table. It is designed for holding items, not supporting human weight.
- Avoid placing hot items directly on the tabletop without protection, despite its heat resistance up to 140 °C, to prolong its lifespan.
Setup and Unfolding
Your Lafuma California table comes pre-assembled and ready for unfolding. Follow these steps to set up your table:
- Place the folded table on a flat surface with the tabletop facing down.
- Release the locking mechanism that secures the legs in the folded position. This typically involves unlatching clips or straps.
- Gently extend the legs outwards until they are fully spread. Ensure the support bars underneath the tabletop click into their locked positions.
- Flip the table upright.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Table Height
The table features telescopic legs for adjustable height. To adjust:
- Ensure the table is empty and stable.
- Locate the locking collars or buttons on each leg.
- Press the release mechanism and slide the inner leg section to the desired height. The legs often have markings to help ensure even height.
- Release the mechanism and ensure it locks securely into place. Repeat for all four legs.
Folding for Storage
To fold the table for compact storage:
- Clear all items from the tabletop.
- If the legs are extended, adjust them to their shortest length.
- Release the locking mechanisms under the tabletop that hold the legs in the open position.
- Fold the legs inwards towards the underside of the tabletop.
- Secure the folded legs with the integrated clips or straps to prevent them from unfolding during transport or storage.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Lafuma California table:
- Cleaning: Clean the tabletop and frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Storage: When not in use, especially during off-season or prolonged periods, store the table in a dry, protected area. Its foldable design allows for compact storage.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and locking mechanisms to ensure they are tight and functioning correctly. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
- UV Protection: While the tabletop is UV resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still affect its appearance over time. Consider storing it in shade when not in use.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your table, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Table is unstable:
- Ensure all four legs are adjusted to the same height.
- Verify that the table is placed on a flat and even surface.
- Check that all leg locking mechanisms are fully engaged.
- Difficulty folding or unfolding:
- Ensure no debris or obstructions are caught in the folding mechanisms.
- Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force the mechanisms.
- Check that all leg extensions are fully retracted before folding.
