Use and care instructions

Although the Timantti collection is durable, your furniture needs appropriate care. These instructions will help you to care for your furniture to keep it as good as new for a long time.

 

TRANSPORT

  •  
The elements are packaged so that they will endure normal transportation.

ASSEMBLY

  •  
Check that all the elements and accessories you ordered are included.
  •  
Firstly, open the packages that contain the lower part of the set. Be careful when removing tape from the packages (for example, be careful if you use a knife as it may cut the surface). The best method is to open the package from the bottom, then fold the flaps across, turn the package around and carefully uncover the element from the package. This way the element is in the correct position when you remove it from its package. Remove any loose shelves for the time being. 
  •  

 

 Assemble the lower units in their correct places. Leave a minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6") between the wall and the back of the set, because the top panel is deeper than the frame. Make the necessary adjustments to compensate for any uneven floor surfaces. You can do this, for example, by putting folded paper underneath the footing. Fasten the elements together with screws.
  •  
Open the packages that contain the upper parts. Insert the metal pegs in the holes on the lower units and lift the upper parts carefully into place. (In the VTR and LEY parts you should insert the tilting protectors in the holes at the back.) Fasten the elements together with screws. The pegs do not always match their counterparts, so you may need to drill additional holes. 
  •  
Fasten the top panels. (Tip: Insert the metal pegs in the top first and it will then be easier to assemble.)
  •  
Fasten the fittings for the shelves to their correct height and put the shelves in place. For glass shelves, you need to install the fittings to keep the glass shelf in place.
  •  
Open the door packages ONE AT A TIME. The doors have SLIGHTLY different hinges and hinge frames depending on their position. Problems in assembling the doors are often due to incorrect fittings. Follow the assembly instructions carefully. Glass doors without frames need to be tightened by hand. Do not use an automatic screwdriver.
  •  
By following the instructions you can avoid mistakes and the set of shelves will be durable and will last for a long time.

If you keep flowerpots on the shelves, take care that the water does not damage the surfaces, for example, by placing a tray underneath the pot.



 

CLEANING

Clean the painted, lacquered and laminated surfaces with water soluble cleaning agents.
