Please use your furniture correctly and safely. Improper use can cause safety hazards,
or damage to your furniture or household items. Carefully read the following chart.
Look out for:
• Children climbing on furniture.
• A child may try to reach a toy or other object
by climbing on furniture.
• Children will play and be active near
the TV.
• Improper use of furniture to support TVs.
• Furniture designed for use with TVs will specify
the maximum weight rating and recommended
size of the TVs it will safely support.
• Overloaded shelves.
• Improperly moving furniture that is not
designed and equipped with casters.
WARNING
What can happen:
• Risk of injury or death.
• A child climbing on a piece of furniture can
make it top-heavy and cause it to tip over.
• A child playing with a TV can cause it to tip
over.
• Risk of injury or death.
• TVs can be very heavy. Plus the weight and
location of the picture tube tends to make TVs
unbalanced and prone to tipping forward.

carts, tables, or dressers may become unstable
and tip if a TV is set on them.
• Risk of injury.
• Top-heavy furniture can tip over.

moved.

How to avoid the problem:

or upper drawers. Children may try to climb to
reach them out of curiosity.
• A TV must only be set on furniture specifi cally
designed to support a television.
• Never use a TV that exceeds the weight ratings
or size guidelines specifi ed for the furniture.
• Never exceed the weight limits shown in the
instructions.
• Work from bottom to top when loading
shelves.
