CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Epoxy steel is a steel covered with a protective paint against rust. Galvanised steel is steel covered with
a layer of zinc that allows it to be protected against corrosion. It protects furniture long-term. The steel is
then painted for an anti-corrosive effect.
Cataphoresis steel: Cataphoresis or electrocataphoresis is the most effective procedure for fighting
against corrosion. The steel is painted in a very uniform way thanks to the total immersion of the furniture
in a paint bath, then it's treated with epoxy and finally baked in an oven.
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 irr
egularities 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.
