Cleaning/ Maintenance
9.1
Frame
Clean the frame with a damp cloth using lukewarm water and ordinary cleaning agents. Do
not use corrosive/ abrasive liquids or grinding cloths, brushes or sponges. Dry the frame
after cleaning.
9.2
Tabletop, laminated surfaces
Clean the Etronit-M surface with a soft cloth firmly wrung in hot water with a little liquid detergent.
The detergent should be without sulphonic soap as this may result in a greasy surface. Stains that
cannot be removed with water can often be removed with a mixture of equal parts chlorine bleaching
and water or with acetone. When using these products see that the room is sufficiently ventilated and
note that these products should not be used on the frame.
Stains from felt-tip pencils can be removed using methylated spirit and pencil strokes can be
removed with a piece of eraser. In case of doubt, we recommend you to experiment on a spot that
cannot be seen as certain products may damage the laminate, e.g. sulphuric acid etc.
Some chemicals, ink and strongly colouring fruit juices may cause discoloration if they remain on the
table for a longer period of time as the pigmentation sticks to the surface.
Do not use steel wool, scouring powder and other abrasive products or detergents leaving a film on
the surface, e.g. yellow soap.
After cleaning, wash the table with a soft cloth firmly wrung in clean water and dry with a cloth.
9.3
Maintenance
The frame is maintenance-free and the moving parts have been lubricated for life. For
reasons of safety and liability we recommend inspection of the frame once a year:
Check that all bolts have been tightened.
Check that the table moves freely and without problems from bottom to top position.
Only use Ropox original spare parts as replacement parts. If other spare parts are used, the
guarantee may become void.
Inspections, service and repairs must be carried out by competent personnel.
