5. Operating Instructions

The JOINICE Lift Top Coffee Table is designed for versatile use, offering both a standard coffee table surface and an elevated workspace or dining area with hidden storage.

5.1. Using the Lift-Top Mechanism

• To Lift: Grasp the tabletop firmly with both hands, one on each side, and gently pull upwards. The upgraded mechanism will assist in a smooth, balanced lift to the elevated position.
• To Lower: Grasp the tabletop firmly with both hands, one on each side, and gently push downwards. The mechanism will smoothly guide the top back to its closed position. Ensure no objects or fingers are in the path of the closing top.

5.2. Accessing Storage

The coffee table features a spacious concealed compartment beneath the lift-up surface, divided into two sections for organization.

• Hidden Storage: To access the hidden storage, simply lift the tabletop as described above. The compartments are ideal for storing blankets, magazines, remote controls, laptops, or other items to keep your living space tidy.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the table surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the walnut finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent staining or water damage.
• Mechanism Care: Periodically check the lift mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, avoiding contact with wood surfaces.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.

7. Troubleshooting

• Table Wobbles: Ensure the table is on a level surface. Check and tighten all leg and frame connections.
• Lift Mechanism is Stiff: Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving joints if needed. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Parts Missing/Damaged: If you discover any missing or damaged parts during assembly, do not proceed. Contact JOINICE customer support immediately for assistance.
