Safety instructions
• Intended Use
Once removed from its original packaging, the CHARLOTTE Console must be placed on a perfectly flat surface.
All the CHARLOTTE Console's supporting bases must be resting firmly on the surfaces on which it is placed; otherwise, the
CHARLOTTE Console may lose stability, making it hazardously unstable. Weights, objects and loads must be evenly distributed
across the surfaces of the CHARLOTTE Console and well balanced in order to ensure stability and safety. Unevenly placed or
unbalanced weights, objects and loads on the surfaces of the CHARLOTTE Console may reduce its stability and thus its safety.
Sharp items or anything which may damage the glass (such as chemical products containing hydrofluoric acid) should not be
placed on the surface of the CHARLOTTE Console. If objects of this kind are placed on the surface of the CHARLOTTE Console in
spite of this warning, you are urged to take adequate precautions to prevent damage to the float glass.
When placing sharp objects on the surface of the CHARLOTTE Console, a mat of insulating material (such as rubber, cork, plastic
or leather) thick enough to dampen any impacts should be placed between the float glass surface and the sharp objects. Never
place items which may damage the float glass (such as chemical products containing hydrofluoric acid) on the surface.
• Warnings - Incorrect use and Non-recommended use
Below, we provide a series of warnings and examples of incorrect uses or procedures which reduce the safety of the CHARLOTTE
Console.
The series of warnings and incorrect uses or procedures provided below is purely guideline and does not cover all the possible
circumstances for incorrect or non-recommended uses of the CHARLOTTE Console, which must be evaluated on each occasion.
Do not sit, lean or stand upon the float glass surface of the CHARLOTTE Console.
Do not use the float glass surface of the CHARLOTTE Console as a chopping surface.
Do not strike the CHARLOTTE Console with hammers or pointed items which may crack or shatter the glass.
Do not use powder detergents or detergents containing abrasives for cleaning the CHARLOTTE Console, since they may damage
the float glass.
Do not use the CHARLOTTE Console for DIY work or for mechanical, electrical or electronic repairs.
In normal conditions of use, do not tilt the product by more than 10°. Any higher angles might reduce the stability of the
CHARLOTTE Console.
Never place items at temperatures below -30°C (such as items just taken out of the freezer), or with temperatures above +30°C
(such as foods just removed from the oven) on the CHARLOTTE Console; exposing the surface to stresses of this kind may damage
the glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level.
Never expose the CHARLOTTE Console to intense heat sources (such as stoves or ovens); exposing the table to stresses of this
kind may damage the float glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level. Do not expose the CHARLOTTE Table to
temperatures below -10°C or weather; exposure of this kind may damage the glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level.
The CHARLOTTE Console should be placed well away from items such as coat racks or ornaments which may accidentally fall
onto its surface.
