5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Lift-Top Mechanism

The table features a smooth, high-performance lift mechanism that allows the tabletop to be raised or lowered. This transforms the table for various uses, such as a workspace or dining area.

1. To raise the tabletop: Gently pull the front edge of the movable tabletop upwards. The hydraulic mechanism will assist in lifting it to the desired height (up to 20.5 inches). Ensure items on the fixed part of the table are not obstructing the lifting path.
2. To lower the tabletop: Place both hands on the movable tabletop and gently push downwards. The mechanism will slowly guide the tabletop back into its original coffee table position (15 inches).

5.2 Hidden Storage Compartment

The spacious concealed storage area is located directly beneath the lift-top tabletop. This area is ideal for storing portable computers, magazines, game players, blankets, and other daily necessities, helping to keep your living space tidy.

1. To access the storage: Lift the tabletop using the lift mechanism as described above. The storage compartment will be revealed.
2. To close the storage: Lower the tabletop back into its original position, ensuring no items are obstructing the closing path.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your coffee table, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
• Stain Resistance: The table is designed to be stain-resistant. For spills, wipe immediately with a clean cloth to prevent any potential marks.
• Protection: Use coasters for drinks and placemats for hot items to protect the tabletop from heat and moisture.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Placement: Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause fading or warping of the wood.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FABATO Lift Top Coffee Table, refer to the following common solutions:

• Tabletop feels wobbly when lifted: Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened. Distribute weight evenly on the lifted surface and do not exceed the 40 lbs weight limit.
• Difficulty lifting or lowering the tabletop: Check for any obstructions in the lift mechanism's path. Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of debris. If resistance persists, contact customer support.
• Parts do not align during assembly: Double-check the Assembly Guide to ensure you are following the steps correctly. Sometimes, loosening adjacent screws slightly can help with alignment before retightening.
• Surface damage (scratches, peeling): For minor scratches, wood repair kits can be used. For peeling edges, wood glue may be applied carefully. For significant damage, contact customer support.
