Caring for Your Fermob Furniture

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING YOUR FERMOB FURNITURE

• Take extra care when unpacking your furniture, so as not to damage the products. The Fermob guarantee does not cover cuts and scratches occurring during unpacking.
• Do not place table tops directly on the ground.
• Only tighten all bolts and nuts once you have finished assembling the product.
• Do not attempt to force any bolts or nuts that cannot be tightened further.

CLEANING YOUR FURNITURE

• Clean your furniture with clean water or water containing a non-detergent soap.
• Do not clean with an abrasive sponge or metal scourer.
• Clean off any bird droppings as soon as possible, as these can damage the paint finish.
• Clean off any tough stains with a limescale removal product or a Starbrite multi-purpose cleaning product.
• Pro tip: For steel tops, cleaning regularly with a soft cloth, and afterward apply mineral oil.

MAINTENANCE

• Ensure that each pad/foot is correctly installed on products.
• If you see natural metal exposed, or if rust appears following a knock or bump, treat this quickly using Fermob’s touch up spray or paint pen (available through your Fermob Dealer).
• Prevent water from accumulating on the furniture by tipping it slightly when not in use.

STORAGE

• Avoid chaining the furniture, or use vinyl-coated security cables to avoid scratches.
• In winter, store your furniture in a dry, well-ventilated place, and ensure it is protected from knocks and bumps.
• Do not store objects on top of the furniture.

USE

• Do not cover the furniture with a tarpaulin or plastic-coated sheet. Avoid prolonged contact with objects that may retain water or moisture (flower pots, placemats, etc.).
• Use caution with flower pots on the tabletop. Do not drag across the finish unless the bottom has protective feet or felt padding.

 TIPS AND TRICKS FOR FEET/PADS

• If you have difficulty affixing the feet/pads, place then in hot water to soften them.
• Attach Bistro feet with a vice grip or pliers (carefully to avoid scratching).
• To maintain structural integrity, tables and chairs must be used with feet. Feet must be replaced if lost (available through your Fermob Dealer).
