4. Setup and Assembly

This Lorell Relevance Series tabletop requires assembly with a compatible Lorell desk frame or electric height-adjustable base (sold separately). The assembly process typically involves attaching the tabletop to the chosen base using the provided hardware with the base.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from their packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Identify Parts: Refer to the assembly instructions provided with your Lorell desk frame or height-adjustable base to identify all parts, including the tabletop, leg frames, crossbars, and hardware.
3. Attach Crossbar (if applicable): If your frame uses a crossbar, attach it to the leg frames according to the frame's instructions. Ensure it is securely fastened.
4. Position Tabletop: Carefully place the tabletop upside down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
5. Align Frame: Position the assembled leg frame or height-adjustable base onto the underside of the tabletop, aligning the pre-drilled holes (if present) or designated attachment points.
6. Secure Tabletop: Using the screws and tools provided with your frame, securely attach the tabletop to the frame. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
7. Final Placement: With assistance, carefully flip the assembled desk upright and place it in its desired location. Ensure it is stable and level.

For detailed, step-by-step instructions, always refer to the specific assembly manual included with your Lorell desk frame or height-adjustable base.

5. Operating Instructions

The Lorell Relevance Series tabletop is designed to be a static surface or to function as part of a dynamic sit/stand workstation when paired with a compatible Lorell electric height-adjustable base. The "operation" of the tabletop primarily involves its integration with these systems.

Using with Height-Adjustable Bases:

• If your tabletop is mounted on an electric height-adjustable base, refer to the base's specific user manual for instructions on adjusting the desk height.
• Ensure that no obstructions are present above or below the tabletop before adjusting its height.
• Distribute weight evenly on the tabletop to maintain stability during height adjustments.

The tabletop itself does not have operational controls; its functionality is determined by the base it is attached to.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your Lorell Relevance Series Charcoal Laminate Office Furniture.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the laminate finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent liquid from seeping into the laminate or edge banding.
• Heat and Moisture: Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters for beverages and protective pads under hot dishes or appliances.
• Protection: Use desk pads or mats to protect the surface from scratches, dents, and prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
