Tempered Glass: Safe Handling and Care
Important Safety Information
Tempered glass requires careful handling to prevent damage and ensure safety. Please read the following guidelines before assembling or using products containing tempered glass.
Handling Precautions
- Handle with care: A damaged edge or a scratched surface can, in exceptional cases, cause the glass to crack suddenly.
- Avoid side impacts: The edges of the glass are its most vulnerable points. Avoid collisions from the side.
- Assembly surface: When assembling, place the glass against a soft surface such as a blanket, the product's packaging box, or another soft material.
- Avoid hard surfaces: Never place the glass directly against a hard surface. This can damage the glass and lead to cracking later on.
