care and maintenance
This product has been made with resistant materials of the
highest quality. With correct care and maintenance you will
be able to enjoy it for many years. However, dirt or other
contaminants and bad use could damage it.
METAL PARTS (STRUCTURE)
For the optimal conservation of pieces manufactured
in steel, especially if they are exposed to the elements,
periodic maintenance is advised.
For maximum resistance to corrosion, steel surfaces must
always be kept clean. This maintenance must be tailored
to the conditions to which your product is exposed (dust,
dirt, humidity in combination with heat, salty or potentially
corrosive environments, etc.). This can vary from one to
four times a month, in normal settings, or up to once a day
in cases of unhygienic or very rough conditions.
You must be the one who adjusts and evaluates the peri-
odicity of the maintenance according to how the material
reacts, increasing or reducing it depending on what is
necessary for proper product care. In any case, we recom-
mend cleaning it at least once a week, as a starting point
Therefore, it's important to keep the product clean.
Please follow these simple instructions to keep the product
in good condition:
• For cleaning both steel and stainless steel, use only
a cloth dipped in warm water and mild soap. Never use
abrasive soaps or detergents, as they can leave scratches
and produce discolouration.
• Rub gently with a damp cloth. Rinse and wring the cloth
frequently, to keep it moist. Make sure to rinse well and dry
with another cloth.
• If the surface is glossy, you must wash it along the grain,
to avoid scratching the surface. On polished surfaces,
you must previously remove dust to avoid scratching
the surface.
• If the event of a spill, clean the stain as quickly as
possible.
• If you are unable to remove the stains with a damp
cloth, apply a metal cleaner to the surface with a cloth.
Read the instructions for the cleaner carefully, and test
it first on an inconspicuous spot. Make sure to rinse
well and dry with another cloth.
When the product is extremely dirty, with stains,
incrustations, or signs of surface discoloration due
to long periods of neglect, or poor maintenance, we
recommend contacting professionals to restore the
surface's initial appearance.
HPL PARTS (FIELD)
HPL does not require special care.
• Clean with a cloth dampened in warm water and mild
soap.
• Never use abrasive soap or detergent, sandpaper or
steel wool since they could scratch the surface or make
colours fade.
• Never use furniture polish which contains wax, since
these kinds of products tend to leave a sticky layer on
the surface which attracts dust and dirt.
IROKO WOOD (LEGS)
As a natural material, iroko can vary in colour, or even
crack due to humidity and sudden changes in tem-
perature. Exposed to the elements, iroko undergoes a
natural oxidation process that affects its colour, taking
on an attractive silver- grey tone.

Iroko pieces should be treated with a waterproof sealer
to protect them from moisture and stains (provided they
are cleaned immediately). However, this sealant naturally
vanishes over time.
We recommend treating the wood with sealant every
three months, or more frequently at dining and hospitality
establishments. To restore iroko's original appearance,
sand the entire surface and apply the sealant, following
the manufacturer's instructions.
Never use soaps or abrasive detergents, or furniture clean-
ing products containing wax, as these types of products
form a sticky layer on the surface that attracts dirt.

WHEN THE PRODUCT IS KEPT OUTDOORS AND IS NOT
