5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Lift-Top Mechanism

The VINGLI coffee table features a smooth hydraulic lift-top mechanism, allowing you to adjust the tabletop height for various activities such as dining or working.

• To Lift: Gently pull the front edge of the tabletop upwards. The hydraulic lifters will assist in raising the top smoothly.
• To Lower: Apply gentle downward pressure on the tabletop. It may be helpful to place a hand on each side of the table when pulling it out and to put your foot behind the front leg of the table to get it to close easily, especially during initial uses. The hydraulic system will ensure a controlled descent.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your coffee table:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a dry or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the laminated finish.
• Protection: Protect the table from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture. Use coasters under drinks to prevent water rings and heat damage.
• Inspections: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VINGLI coffee table, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Tabletop feels stiff or difficult to lift/lower: The hydraulic mechanism may require a short break-in period. Continue to operate it gently. Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism.
• Table feels wobbly: Check all assembly fasteners (screws, cam locks) and tighten them securely. Ensure the table is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Missing parts or damaged components: Before assembly, always verify all parts against the included list. If any are missing or damaged, contact VINGLI customer support immediately for replacements.
• Chipping during assembly: Exercise care when handling and connecting pieces. If minor chipping occurs, it can often be concealed with the provided PVC covers or a furniture repair marker.
