Operating Instructions
Using the Reversible Play Surface
The table features three removable panels that form the play surface. Each panel is reversible, offering two different themed play environments: a jungle/farm scene and a city/road scene. To change the scene or access the storage:
- Gently lift each panel using the designated finger holes.
- Flip the panel to the desired side (jungle/farm or city/road).
- Carefully place the panel back into its position on the table frame.
The underside of the play surface also includes a bridge structure, allowing for multi-level train track configurations if desired.
Utilizing the Storage Compartment
Beneath the removable play panels is a spacious storage compartment. This area can be used to store train tracks, toys, and other play accessories when not in use, helping to keep the play area tidy.
Note: Train tracks and other accessories are not included with the table and are sold separately.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safety of your Hape Activity Table, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the table surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the child-safe finish.
- Storage: Store the table in a dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
- Damage: If any part of the table becomes damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact Hape customer support for assistance.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns. For issues not listed here, please contact customer support.
- Panels not fitting correctly: Ensure the panels are oriented correctly and aligned with the grooves in the table frame. Gently press down to secure them.
- Table instability: Check that all screws are securely tightened. If the table still wobbles, verify that it is placed on a flat, even surface.
- Chemical odor: New wooden products may have a faint odor upon unboxing. This typically dissipates quickly in a well-ventilated area. If a strong, persistent odor is present, ensure adequate ventilation and contact customer support if it persists.
