Operating Instructions

Folding and Unfolding the Desktop

1. To Unfold: Gently pull the desktop panel outwards and downwards. The support mechanism will engage to hold the desktop in a horizontal position. Ensure the support is fully locked before placing items on the desk.

2. To Fold: Clear all items from the desktop. Disengage the support mechanism (refer to the specific instructions for your mechanism type, often a lever or button). Gently lift the desktop upwards until it is flush with the main unit.

Maintenance

• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood material.

• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.

• Avoid Overloading: Do not place excessively heavy items on the shelves or desktop to prevent structural damage.

Troubleshooting

Desk feels wobbly after assembly.

Ensure all screws and connections are fully tightened. Verify that the desk is placed on a level surface. If wobbling persists, re-check the assembly steps, especially for the main frame and anti-tipping device.

Folding desktop does not stay open.

Check the folding mechanism to ensure it is fully engaged and locked into place. Inspect for any obstructions or damage to the hinges or support arms.

Drawers are difficult to open or close.

Ensure the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions inside the drawer or along the slides. Lubrication of the slides with a suitable product may help.
