Treatment with wood treatment oil
The table has been treated once with wood
treatment oil in the factory. Shiny spots on
the table surface are easily removed by
polishing with the coarse side of a Scotch-
brite® sponge.
In order for the table to retain its high
surface resistance, sand the surface lightly
along the wood grain with fine-grained
sandpaper a few days after assembly.
Wipe off all sanding dust with a cloth and
then apply a thin, even coat of BEHANDLA
wood treatment oil with a brush or a cloth
until the surface cannot absorb any more
oil. Take extra care when applying oil to the
end edges of the table top, apply a second
coat if necessary, as they are liable to
crack formation. To avoid the risk of making
marks on the floor, do not oil the underside
of the legs.
Leave the oil to penetrate the surface for
15-20 minutes. Wipe off any surplus oil with
a soft cloth. After ca. 24 hours, when the oil
has dried up, sand down any grain raising
with fine-grained sandpaper. When the
surface is smooth, repeat the oil treatment.
To ensure that the table retains its appear-
ance and durable surface for many years to
come it should be treated with BEHANDLA
wood treatment oil at regular intervals.

IMPORTANT! Wash used brushes and soak
used cloths in water and dispose of them
in a fireproof dustbin to prevent the risk of
spontaneous combustion.
For daily cleaning, wipe the surface with a
damp cloth and then with a dry cloth. If you
happen to spill, wipe up the liquid directly,
as liquid that is allowed to remain on oil-
treated surfaces for a long period of time
can cause stains.
