Operating Instructions

Lift-Top Function

The coffee table features a hydraulic lift mechanism for smooth and safe elevation of a section of the tabletop.

• To Raise: Gently pull the front edge of the lift-top section upwards. The hydraulic mechanism will assist in smoothly raising the tabletop to its extended height.
• To Lower: Apply gentle downward pressure on the lift-top section. The hydraulic mechanism will allow it to descend slowly and safely back into its original position. Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism or the storage area when lowering.

Storage Utilization

The coffee table offers a two-tier storage design:

• Hidden Storage: The area beneath the lift-top section provides concealed storage for items you wish to keep out of sight, such as remotes, books, or small electronics.
• Open Storage Shelf: The lower, semi-open shelf is ideal for displaying decorative items, storing magazines, or keeping frequently accessed items within easy reach.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the table surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood.
• Protection: Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot dishes to protect the tabletop from heat and moisture.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Lift Mechanism: The hydraulic mechanism is designed for durability. Avoid applying excessive force when raising or lowering the top. Do not lubricate the mechanism unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
