6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your multifunctional table.

• Cleaning Surfaces: For MDF and wooden surfaces, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Billiard Felt: Regularly brush the billiard felt with a soft brush to remove dust and chalk residue. Avoid spills on the felt. If a spill occurs, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
• Legs: Clean aluminum legs with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, store accessories in a dry, safe place. If storing the table for an extended period, ensure it is covered to protect against dust and moisture.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause warping or fading of the wood and MDF components. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Table is Wobbly: Check that all assembly hardware is tightened. Use the adjustable feet (if present) to level the table on uneven floors.
• Table Tennis Top Panels Don't Fit: Ensure the panels are oriented correctly and placed squarely over the billiard surface. Check for any obstructions.
• Billiard Balls Don't Roll Straight: This indicates the table is not level. Adjust the feet until the playing surface is perfectly horizontal.
• Scratches on Surface: Minor scratches on wooden or MDF surfaces can sometimes be touched up with furniture repair markers or polishes. For deeper damage, professional repair may be required.
