5. Operating Instructions (Arrangement and Use)

This 7-seater dining set offers versatile arrangement options to suit your outdoor space. Consider the following:

• Configuration: The modular sofa sections (Left Arm, Right Arm, Armless) can be arranged in various L-shape or linear configurations.
• Dining Setup: Position the dining table centrally with the club chairs and ottomans for a comfortable dining experience.
• Lounge Setup: Arrange the sofa sections and club chairs for a relaxed lounge area, using the ottomans as footrests or extra seating.
• Cushion Care: Always ensure cushions are dry before storing or covering. While water-resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your outdoor dining set.

• Cleaning Frame: Wipe the faux rattan and aluminum frames with a dry cloth regularly to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Cushion Cleaning: The cushion material is water-resistant fabric (100% Polyester). Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry unless specified on the cushion care label.
• Protection: During harsh weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, strong winds) or prolonged periods of non-use, it is recommended to cover the furniture with a protective cover or store it indoors.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws and tighten them as needed to maintain structural integrity.
