Assembly Steps:

• Hanging Items: Use the three steel hooks to hang coats, jackets, scarves, hats, or bags. Distribute weight evenly across the hooks.
• Shelf Usage: The top shelf is ideal for smaller items such as keys, wallets, decorative objects, or folded accessories.
• Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 20 kg (44 lbs) for the entire unit (hooks and shelf combined).

7. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Foppapedretti Hippo3 coat rack, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the unit with a dry, soft cloth.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Environment: Avoid exposing the product to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or high humidity, which can affect the wood and finish.

8. Troubleshooting

• Unit feels loose after installation:

  Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened. Verify that the wall anchors are properly seated and suitable for your wall type. If the wall material is weak, consider using stronger anchors or mounting to a stud.
• Hooks or shelf appear unstable:

  Check for any loose connections within the unit itself. Ensure no single hook or section of the shelf is being overloaded beyond the recommended capacity.

• Damage to finish:

  Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with a wood repair marker matching the walnut finish. For significant damage, contact customer support.
