6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Lift-Top Mechanism
The FDW Lift Top Coffee Table features a high-quality metal mechanism that allows the tabletop to be effortlessly lifted and lowered. This transforms the coffee table into a convenient workspace or dining surface.
- To Lift: Gently pull the front edge of the tabletop upwards. The gas lift mechanism will assist in raising it smoothly and quietly. Continue lifting until it locks into the fully extended position.
- To Lower: Carefully push the tabletop downwards from the front edge. The mechanism will allow it to descend smoothly back into the closed position. Ensure no objects or fingers are in the path of the closing tabletop.

- Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining, especially on the edges or unsealed areas.
- Protection: Use coasters for drinks and placemats for hot items to protect the tabletop from heat and moisture marks.
- Mechanism Care: The metal lift mechanism is designed for durability. Avoid applying excessive force when lifting or lowering. No special lubrication is typically required.
