Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

  • Ensure the console is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
  • Do not overload shelves or cabinets beyond their weight capacity.
  • Keep ventilation openings clear to prevent overheating of electronic devices.
  • Avoid exposing the console to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.
  • For safety, consider securing the console to a wall, especially in homes with children or pets, using appropriate anti-tip hardware (not included).

Setup

The Broyhill Attic Heirlooms Entertainment Console comes fully assembled, requiring no complex setup. Follow these steps for initial placement:

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the console from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
  2. Placement: Choose a suitable location in your living space. Ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the console's weight (approximately 150 pounds) plus the weight of your entertainment equipment.
  3. Leveling: If the console wobbles, adjust its position or place shims under the legs to ensure stability.
  4. Cable Management: Utilize the pre-drilled ventilation holes at the back of the unit to route cables and cords for your electronic devices. This helps in reducing overheating and maintaining an organized appearance.

Operating the Console

This entertainment console is designed for straightforward use. Here are guidelines for optimal functionality:

  • Central Cabinet: The glass-faced central cabinet is ideal for housing small electronic devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, or gaming consoles. The glass allows for remote control signals to pass through.
  • Side Cabinets: The two side cabinets feature solid wood doors and provide concealed storage. The right-side cabinet includes a pull-out DVD shelf for organizing your media collection.
  • Ventilation: The strategically placed ventilation holes at the back of the unit are crucial for air circulation around your electronic components. Ensure these holes are not blocked.
  • Weight Distribution: Distribute the weight of your electronics evenly across the top surface and within the cabinets to maintain stability.

Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your entertainment console.

  • Cleaning:
    • Dust regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
    • For spills, wipe immediately with a clean, damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
    • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or silicone-based polishes, as these can damage the wood finish.
  • Protection:
    • Use coasters or protective pads under hot or wet items to prevent watermarks and heat damage.
    • Keep the console out of direct sunlight to prevent fading or cracking of the wood.
    • Maintain a consistent humidity level in the room to prevent wood from expanding or contracting excessively.
  • Hardware: Periodically check and tighten any loose screws on hinges or handles to ensure proper function and stability.
