2. Safety Instructions
Observe the following safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly assembled and tightened according to the instructions. Do not use power tools for final tightening to avoid overtightening and damaging components.
- Placement: Place the daybed on a stable, level surface. Uneven surfaces can lead to instability and potential tipping.

- Sunshade: When adjusting the sunshade, ensure hands and fingers are clear of moving parts to prevent pinching. Secure the sunshade using the Velcro fasteners when unfolded.
- Weather Conditions: While the rattan is water-repellent, it is recommended to cover or store cushions during heavy rain or adverse weather conditions to prolong their lifespan.
- Children: Supervise children around the daybed to prevent accidents, especially during sunshade operation or when reconfiguring the seating.

5. Operating Instructions
Your tectake Round Rattan Daybed offers flexible configurations for various uses.
5.1 Daybed Configuration
To use as a full daybed, arrange all main sections together to form a large circular lounging area. Place the central table piece in the middle if desired, or remove it to create a larger continuous surface. The cushions provide optimal comfort for lounging.
5.2 Seating Group Configuration
The daybed can be easily converted into a practical seating area. Separate the main sections and arrange them with the central table and two additional seat pieces to create a sofa, stools, and a table setup. This allows for multiple seating arrangements for family and friends.

The sun canopy provides shade and wind protection. It is gas-powered for easy adjustment.
- To Unfold: Gently lift the canopy frame. The gas springs will assist in raising it. Once fully extended, secure the canopy in place using the integrated Velcro fasteners.
- To Fold: Release the Velcro fasteners. Gently push the canopy frame downwards until it is fully folded. Ensure hands are clear of the mechanism during folding.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and extend the lifespan of your daybed.
- Rattan Frame: Clean the braided rattan regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive cleaners.
- Aluminium Stand: Wipe the aluminium frame with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent.
- Cushions: The fabric covers are moisture-resistant. For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, the covers are removable and can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry only; do not tumble dry.
