Page: 7 / 16

• Intended Use
Once removed from its original packaging, the ELIX Coat-hanger must be placed on a perfectly flat surface.
All the ELIX Coat-hanger's supporting bases must be resting firmly on the surfaces on which it is placed; otherwise, the ELIX
Coat-hanger may lose stability, making it hazardously unstable. Weights, objects and loads must be evenly distributed across the
surfaces of the ELIX Coat-hanger and well balanced in order to ensure stability and safety. Unevenly placed or unbalanced weights,
objects and loads on the surfaces of the ELIX Coat-hanger 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 ELIX Coat-hanger. If objects of this kind are placed on the surface of the ELIX Coat-hanger 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 ELIX Coat-hanger, 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.
