2. Safety Information

Please read and adhere to the following safety guidelines to ensure proper installation and safe use of your bathroom furniture:

• Installation Surface: Furniture must be installed on horizontal surfaces. Avoid installation on uneven surfaces, as this can cause stress on connection points, leading to deformation of the furniture and malfunction of door/drawer closing mechanisms. Such failures, even if appearing after installation, are not considered manufacturing defects.
• Professional Installation: Connection of the furniture to the electrical and water networks must be performed by qualified personnel. In case of a complaint, the buyer must demonstrate that the electrical and water installation was carried out according to legal terms by authorized personnel.
• Weight Limits: Do not place heavy objects on the furniture or sink. The total weight should not exceed 2-2.5 kg.
• Surface Protection: Do not place wet or hot objects directly on the furniture surfaces. In case of contact with water or other substances, clean immediately with soft, absorbent, slightly damp textile materials.
• Sink Care: Avoid thermal shocks and impacts with metallic objects on the ceramic sink.
• Ventilation and Exposure: Furniture should be installed in ventilated rooms, away from direct solar radiation and direct contact with water. This furniture is not designed for outdoor installation. While it can withstand normal humidity (steam, accidental splashes), permanent exposure to high humidity will cause deterioration (swelling), which is not covered by warranty.
• Heat Sources: Position the bathroom furniture away from heat sources (e.g., heaters), maintaining a minimum distance of 30 cm.
• Cleaning: After each use, clean any excess water or substances with a soft, dry cloth. Grease or liquid residues should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
• Leak Prevention: Periodically check the hydraulic system in contact with the bathroom furniture to prevent water leaks that could lead to deterioration over time.
• Wall Mounting: To prevent serious injury or fatality from tipping or falling, the furniture must be properly secured to the wall. The method of fixing depends on the type and strength of the wall. Any fixing materials (e.g., plugs, hooks, screws) possibly included in the package are indicative; verify their suitability and replace if necessary. Consult a specialized professional for appropriate accessories.
