Safety instructions
• Intended Use
Once removed from its original packaging, the FLUTE Coffee Table must be placed on a perfectly flat surface.
All the FLUTE Coffee Table's supporting bases must be resting firmly on the surfaces on which it is placed; otherwise, the FLUTE
Coffee Table may lose stability, making it hazardously unstable. Weights, objects and loads must be evenly distributed across the
surfaces of the FLUTE Coffee Table and well balanced in order to ensure stability and safety. Unevenly placed or unbalanced
weights, objects and loads on the surfaces of the FLUTE Coffee Table 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 FLUTE Coffee Table. If objects of this kind are placed on the surface of the FLUTE Coffee Table 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 FLUTE Coffee Table, 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 FLUTE
Coffee Table.
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 FLUTE Coffee Table, which must be evaluated on each occasion.
Do not sit, lean or stand upon the float glass surface of the FLUTE Coffee Table.
Do not use the float glass surface of the FLUTE Coffee Table as a chopping surface.
Do not strike the FLUTE Coffee Table with hammers or pointed items which may crack or shatter the glass.
Do not use powder detergents or detergents containing abrasives for cleaning the FLUTE Coffee Table, since they may damage
the float glass.
Do not use the FLUTE Coffee Table 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 FLUTE
Coffee Table.
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 FLUTE Coffee Table; exposing the surface to stresses of this kind may damage
the glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level.
Never expose the FLUTE Coffee Table 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 FLUTE 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 FLUTE
Coffee Table should be placed well away from items such as coat racks or ornaments which may accidentally fall onto its surface.
• Moving the Coffee Table
To ensure that the FLUTE Coffee Table is moved in the conditions of the utmost safety, we urge you to comply with the instructions
