Operating Instructions
Your SANODESK Electric Standing Desk is equipped with an intuitive 6-button control panel for easy height adjustment and memory functions.
- Adjusting Height: Use the Up (^) and Down (v) arrow buttons to manually raise or lower the desk to your desired height. The current height will be displayed on the LED screen.
- Memory Presets: The control panel features four memory preset buttons (1, 2, 3, 4).
- To save a height: Adjust the desk to your preferred height, then press and hold one of the numbered memory buttons (1-4) until the LED screen flashes or beeps, indicating the height has been saved.
- To recall a height: Simply press the corresponding numbered memory button (1-4), and the desk will automatically move to the saved height.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the desktop and frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. The frame surface is coated with fine and smooth paint that is waterproof and rustproof, making it easy to clean.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Motor Care: The electric lifting system is designed for durability. Avoid overloading the desk beyond its 176 lbs capacity. If the motor is used too frequently in a short period, it may display an E01 error message, indicating it needs a brief rest. Allow it to cool down before resuming operation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk does not move. | Power cable disconnected; Motor error. | Check power connections. If an error code (e.g., E01) is displayed, allow the motor to rest for a few minutes. |
| Desk wobbles. | Loose screws; Uneven floor. | Tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the desk is on a level surface. Adjust leg levelers if necessary. |
| Height adjustment is inconsistent. | Transmission rod misalignment. | Refer to Step 5 of the assembly instructions to adjust the transmission rod with a wrench. |
| Squeaking noise during operation. | Friction in moving parts. | Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the lifting columns if the noise persists. |
