2. Safety Information

• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 66 pounds for desktop panels and 44 pounds for the corner panel. The keyboard tray supports up to 22 pounds.
• Tempered Glass: The desk features tempered safety glass. While durable, avoid dropping heavy objects on the glass or striking its edges, as this can cause it to shatter.
• Assembly: Assembly requires two people for optimal safety and ease. Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened before use. Do not overtighten screws, especially those connecting to glass, to prevent cracking.
• Placement: Place the desk on a level surface to prevent instability.
• Cables: Manage cables to prevent tripping hazards and to maintain a tidy workspace.

3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly. The package includes:

• Tempered Glass Panels (Left, Right, Corner)
• Powder-Coated Steel Frame Components
• Pull-Out Keyboard Tray with Safety Stop
• CPU Caddy
• Assembly Hardware (screws, bolts, Allen wrench)
• Assembly Instructions Manual

4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required and is recommended for two people. An Allen wrench is included; a small Phillips head screwdriver may also be needed for the keyboard tray.

1. Unpack and Organize: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Group similar parts and hardware.
2. Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the steel frame sections. Ensure all frame pieces are oriented correctly according to the provided diagrams in the printed manual. Secure connections with the appropriate screws and bolts, tightening them snugly but not excessively.
3. Attach Keyboard Tray Rails: The keyboard tray rails attach to the shorter side of the desk. Note that the rails are offset and must be installed correctly for the tray to slide smoothly. Refer to the manual for proper orientation (e.g., flat side flush with the frame).
4. Install Keyboard Tray: Attach the keyboard tray to the installed rails using the provided wood screws. Ensure the rounded corner of the tray faces the front.
5. Place Glass Panels: Carefully place the tempered glass panels onto the assembled frame. The glass is secured with brushed silver disks. Ensure the panels are aligned properly with the frame.
6. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, gently re-tighten all screws to ensure stability. Avoid overtightening the screws that secure the glass panels.

5. Operating Instructions

The L-shaped desk offers a versatile layout that can be configured for left or right-hand use. The pull-out keyboard tray is designed for smooth operation and includes a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far.

• Keyboard Tray Use: Gently pull the keyboard tray forward to extend it for use. Push it back into the desk when not in use to save space. The safety stop will prevent accidental detachment.
• Desk Configuration: The L-shape can be reversed during assembly to suit your room layout. This allows the longer or shorter desk section to be on either the left or right side.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Techni Mobili desk.

• Cleaning Glass Surfaces: Wipe glass surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could scratch the glass.
• Cleaning Frame: The powder-coated steel frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dried thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary, but do not overtighten.

7. Troubleshooting

• Desk Wobbles: Ensure the desk is placed on a level surface. Check that all frame connections are securely tightened. The legs have adjustable feet for leveling on uneven floors.
• Keyboard Tray Sticks/Doesn't Slide Smoothly: Check that the keyboard tray rails are installed correctly and are not bent. Ensure no debris is obstructing the slides. Lubricate the slides with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
• Glass Scratches/Smudges: Glass surfaces are prone to smudges and can scratch if abrasive materials are used for cleaning or if sharp objects are dragged across them. Use soft cloths and appropriate glass cleaners.
