Main risks

• Detachment of the shelf due to inadequate fixing or exceeding the load capacity.
• Falling objects from the shelf, potentially causing impact injuries or cuts.
• Breakage of the shelf (especially glass or thin boards) due to impacts or overloading.
• Damage to the wall and injuries during installation when drilling into areas with concealed cables or pipes.
• Cuts from sharp edges or chipped glass.
• Weakening of fittings and adhesives due to moisture, grease or degraded surfaces.
• Risk to children from climbing, pulling on the shelf or reaching dangerous objects.

Safe use

• Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and maximum load.
• Use fixings and wall plugs compatible with the wall type, and ensure the surface is sound and clean.
• Before drilling, locate and avoid electrical cables and pipes; use a suitable detector if possible.
• Distribute the weight evenly; place heavier items near the brackets and avoid placing them at the edge.
• For adhesive models, verify surface compatibility and observe the adhesive cure times before loading.
• Handle glass shelves with particular care; avoid impacts to the edges and point loads.
• Position shelves at a height that allows safe access; use a stable ladder to reach high areas.
• If you lack experience with fixings or identifying the wall type, consider the help of a qualified installer.

Storage and maintenance

• Periodically check screws, brackets and anchors; re-tighten and replace any damaged, rusted or loose parts.
• Check for sagging, cracks or looseness; if any are present, remove the load and remedy before using again.
• Clean with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive products or excess water that could damage finishes or adhesives.
• Protect from prolonged moisture, grease and steam; wipe up splashes to prevent corrosion or detachment.
• For glass shelves, remove and replace if you detect nicks or chips.
• If you uninstall or store the shelf, protect it from impacts, keep it horizontal and in a dry place; keep the fittings together.

Restrictions of use

• Indoor use unless specifically indicated by the product for outdoor use.
• Do not use as a step, seat, grab bar or to hang from.
• Do not install above cots, play areas or headboards where a fall could cause injury.
• Do not place very heavy appliances (e.g. microwaves, aquariums, televisions) unless the product expressly permits it and with appropriate fixings.
• Keep heavy, fragile, sharp or toxic objects placed on the shelf out of children’s reach.
• Avoid installing near sources of intense heat or extreme humidity that could deform materials or weaken adhesives.
• Installation and handling by adults; keep children away during assembly.
