-Please follow the instructions included with your furniture if
adjustment is necessary.
- If doors fail to operate smoothly, or the product is moved,
adjustment and levelling should be rechecked.
SUNLIGHT AND HEAT
- Avoid exposing your furniture to excessive heat e.g. by placing it in
front of a radiator, as this can cause cracking. A minimum 30cm
clearance from heat sources is advised.
- Direct sunlight will cause the colour of real wood to change, this will
be more readily apparent if the furniture is placed under a window.
Use in hot and sunny conservatories is not recommended.
- Leaving items such as vases or ornaments in one place on a piece of
furniture in sunlight may leave a mark when it is removed. Such
marks should blend in with time.
- Never place hot dishes directly on to wooden or painted surfaces, we
recommend you use tablemats.
Prolonged use of hot electrical equipment, such as a television, on top
of furniture may also cause scorching.
-The dark rubber feet used on electrical and other equipment
occasionally contain chemicals that can leave
a permanent mark on furniture surfaces, care should be taken.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To prolong the life of your Hana furniture we advise the following:
Cleaning
- To protect oiled furniture from spills, nourish the wood and to keep
it looking great, periodic oiling is required. If this maintenance is not
carried out, the wood may become dry, lose its depth of colour and
become susceptible to staining and water marking.
-To oil, apply a thin coat of Danish Oil to the outside of the furniture
with a clean lint free cloth periodically or whenever the wood lightens,
feels dry to the touch or displays lighter dry patches. Take care not to
over oil the product as this may result in a shinier finish.
- Linseed oil can be purchased at most DIY stores. Do not use oils sold
for cooking.
- On receipt, the furniture would have been wrapped since it was
manufactured and may require light oiling immediately on delivery,
especially if it appears light or dry due to the variable absorbency of
wood and cardboard that it was wrapped in.
-If you oil your furniture on delivery, it may take up to 24 hours for
the protective oil to completely dry so care is required.
-We recommend that drawers are left open and empty for 24 hours to
allow any residual odour from the oil to dissipate and ensure it is dry.
