Main risks

• Tipping from overloading or distributing the weight high up or on one side.
• Unintended movement if the castors are not locked, especially on slopes or uneven floors.
• Finger entrapment in folding mechanisms, pull-out shelves or drawers.
• Cuts or breakages if there are sharp edges, glass surfaces or damaged parts.
• Burns and spillages when transporting pots, pans or other hot containers.
• Slips due to liquids spilled during transport.
• Instability due to worn or loose castors, or faulty brakes.
• Damage to walls, doors or furniture from impacts while manoeuvring with a load.

Safe use

• Assemble the trolley following the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure screws and joints are secure.
• Before loading, check that the castors and brakes work, and lock them when the trolley is parked.
• Observe the stated maximum load and distribute the weight low and centred; avoid stacking high or with overhang.
• Push the trolley holding the handle with both hands; proceed slowly and make wide turns to prevent tipping.
• Keep drawers, doors and movable shelves closed during movement.
• Do not transport containers at boiling point, very hot oils or open flames; use trivets to set down hot items.
• Secure bottles and jars to stop them rolling; use trays or containers for small utensils.
• Keep fingers away from hinges and folding mechanisms when opening or closing.
• Avoid high thresholds, steep slopes and slippery floors when carrying weight.

Storage and maintenance

• Store the trolley indoors, in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sources of heat and moisture.
• Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry afterwards; avoid abrasive products or those containing strong solvents.
• Protect surfaces with trivets, coasters or table mats to prevent stains, burns or cuts.
• Periodically check screws, joints, hinges, castors and brakes; tighten or adjust if you detect looseness.
• Replace damaged castors, brakes, shelves or glass immediately; do not use the trolley if it is unstable.
• If specified by the manufacturer, lightly lubricate axles or moving mechanisms for smooth operation.
• When parked, leave the brakes on and avoid leaving heavy loads on upper shelves for long periods.

Usage restrictions

• Do not use the trolley as a step, seat, scaffold or support to climb on.
• Do not transport people, children or pets on the trolley.
• Do not exceed the total maximum load or the per-shelf limit stated by the manufacturer.
• Do not use it on stairs or leave it parked on slopes.
• Do not use the trolley outdoors unless it is specifically designed for outdoor use.
• Keep children away and supervised when the trolley is in use; do not allow them to hang from it or climb on it.
• Avoid using it near open flames or lit hobs that could overheat the unit or its contents.
