Setup and Assembly

This desktop is designed to be paired with a compatible desk frame (sold separately). Follow these general guidelines for assembly:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the desktop from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Prepare Desk Frame: Ensure your desk frame is assembled according to its own instructions and is stable.
3. Position Desktop: Place the desktop upside down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Carefully align your desk frame on top of the desktop.
4. Align Mounting Holes: Many FLEXISPOT desktops come with pre-drilled holes that align with FLEXISPOT desk frames. If your desk frame's mounting points do not align with existing holes, you may need to drill new pilot holes. Use appropriate drill bits and ensure holes are not drilled through the top surface.
5. Address Recessed Sections: Some desk frames, particularly those with motors or specific screw head designs, may require recessed sections on the underside of the desktop. If your desk frame has such requirements and the desktop does not have them, you may need to carefully chisel or route out space to accommodate these components. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the desktop.
6. Secure Desktop: Use the screws provided with your desk frame to attach the desktop securely. Do not overtighten screws.
7. Flip Desk: With assistance, carefully flip the assembled desk upright.

Note: If you are unsure about drilling or modifying the desktop, consult a professional or contact FLEXISPOT customer support for guidance.

Operating Instructions

As a desktop, this product does not have complex operating functions. Its primary use is as a stable and durable work surface. Ensure that the desktop is always securely attached to its supporting frame.

• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the desktop surface. Avoid placing heavy items exclusively on one side.
• Maximum Load: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 150 pounds (68 kg) for the desktop.
• Surface Protection: While the surface is scratch-resistant and water-resistant, using coasters for drinks and mouse pads for computer mice can further extend the life and appearance of the desktop.

Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and integrity of your FLEXISPOT desktop.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the laminate finish.
• Spills: Although water-resistant, promptly wipe up any spills to prevent potential damage or staining.
• Heat Protection: Avoid placing hot items directly on the desktop. Use heat-resistant pads or coasters to prevent heat damage.
• Sharp Objects: Use caution with sharp objects. While scratch-resistant, excessive force or sharp edges can still cause damage.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the installation or use of your desktop.

Issue: Mounting holes do not align with desk frame.

Solution:

• Carefully mark new pilot hole locations on the underside of the desktop, ensuring they correspond to your desk frame's mounting points.
• Use a drill bit appropriate for engineered wood and drill pilot holes to prevent splitting. Ensure the drill depth is controlled to avoid drilling through the top surface.
• If your desk frame requires recessed areas for components (e.g., motor screw heads), and these are not present on the desktop, you may need to carefully create these recesses using appropriate tools. Proceed with caution or seek professional assistance.

Issue: Desktop appears unstable after assembly.

Solution:

• Verify that all screws attaching the desktop to the frame are securely tightened.
• Check the desk frame itself for stability and ensure all its components are properly assembled and tightened according to its manual.
• Ensure the desk is placed on a level surface. Adjust any leveling feet on the desk frame if necessary.
