CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different assembled elements
(between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried out individually, before
assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance irregularities coming both from the surface treatment process
and assembly operations. The final appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.
2/ Precautions for use
Do not put hot objects on the table itself, they will leave permanent marks on it (discoloration, deformation, cracks…). Always use
table mats.
Do not use a plastic tablecloth on the table. Exposed to UV and heat, it would melt and act as a decal, especially on steel, aluminum
and glass. This would result in irreparable deterioration of the tray in the form of white streaks. Instead, use a fabric tablecloth.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an alteration of the colours and the
state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the screwed elements.
Exposure to UV rays
Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles, paint, plastics), a phenomenon also due to the
rays of the sun as well as those of the moon. This evolution of colours exposed to external elements is normal and concerns in
particular bright colours.
Tightening
The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them regularly.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic hazards or exceptional weather
conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin with a
ventilation system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure that you wipe it to prevent the
water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance of rust
indeed mould.
Temperature conditions
Outdoor furniture is not made to bear low temperature conditions, even less winter temperatures, which are likely to alter its correct
operating and its surface condition. it is also sensitive to ambient humidity. It is therefore advised to store it in a dry, ventilated and
closed place. Putting a tarpaulin on it is therefore not necessary. Before any siding, clean and dry the products well, to prevent the
appearance of unpleasant odours or mould. If you do not have a dry, ventilated and closed place, the use of tarpaulin with a
ventilation system is essential to cover the furniture that remains outside. A protective tarpaulin in fact reduces the impact of external
aggressions (damage due to trees, animals, pollution,...) over its lifespan. If the floor is damp, it is advised to insert a wedge between
the floor and the feet to avoid a transfer of humidity. In the event of a table that spends winter outside, giving a slight angle also
prevents water and dead leaves collecting on the tarpaulin.
In the event of prolonged non-use, if the storage and tidying away recommendations are not followed, the result will be an accelerated
deterioration to its surface condition and its correct operating.
