2. Safety Information

Please read and follow all safety warnings and instructions carefully to ensure safe assembly and use of your furniture. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Assembly: Assemble the furniture strictly according to the provided instructions. Do not force any fixings.
• Installation Surface: Install the unit on horizontal, even surfaces. Uneven surfaces can create tension, leading to deformation and failure of closing mechanisms.
• Wall Mounting: This furniture must be properly fixed to the wall to prevent tipping or falling, which can cause serious, even fatal, injuries. The type of wall plugs, hooks, or screws required depends on your specific wall type and strength. Wall fixing materials are not included and must be purchased separately based on your wall's requirements.
• Moisture and Heat: Do not place wet or hot objects directly on the furniture surface. In case of contact with water or other substances, clean immediately with soft, absorbent textile materials.
• Environment: Install the furniture in ventilated rooms, away from direct sunlight and direct water contact. It is not designed for outdoor installation. While it can withstand normal humidity (steam, accidental splashes), prolonged exposure to high humidity will cause deterioration (swelling) not covered by warranty.
• Heat Sources: Place the unit at a minimum distance of 30 cm from heat sources.
• Cleaning: Grease or liquid residue should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
• Manufacturing Notes: The possible presence of drilled holes with non-linear edges or glue residue along the edge of semi-finished products does not indicate a manufacturing defect. These areas will be covered during assembly by other components, hinges, or hole covers. Remove any glue residue with a slightly damp cloth.

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Atena Cubotto Wall Shelf.

• General Cleaning: For routine cleaning, wipe surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong chemical cleaners, solvents, or polishes that may damage the surface.

• Door Not Closing Properly: Check the alignment of the hinges. Adjust them as per the assembly instructions. Ensure the push-and-pull mechanism is correctly installed and not obstructed.

• Scratches or Dents: Minor surface imperfections can sometimes be touched up with furniture repair pens or waxes matching the white oak laminate finish.
