Assembly & Installation

Follow these steps to safely install the glass top onto the compatible IDANÄS table frame.

Prepare the area: Clear a flat, stable surface large enough for assembly.
Position the frame: Assemble the table frame according to its instructions and place it where the table will be used.
Lift the glass: With two people wearing gloves, carefully lift the glass top from its packaging.
Align and lower: Align the glass top with the frame, ensuring it is centered. Lower it gently onto the frame.
Secure the glass: Ensure the glass rests evenly on all support points or rubber pads on the frame.
Check stability: Gently test that the glass does not shift or rock. Adjust if necessary.

CAUTION! Do not drag or slide the glass on the frame. Avoid placing heavy objects on the glass until it is fully secured.

Placement & Leveling

Ensure proper placement and leveling for safety and stability.

Place the table on a flat, level floor to prevent wobbling.
Use a spirit level to check that the glass top is horizontal.
If the frame is adjustable, adjust the feet to level the table.
Avoid placing the table in high-traffic areas where it may be bumped.
Keep away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent thermal stress.

Tip: For added stability on uneven floors, use felt pads under the frame feet.

Care & Cleaning

Proper care will maintain the clarity and longevity of the glass top.

Regular cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber recommended).
Cleaning solution: Use a mild glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar. Spray onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass.
Wipe gently: Wipe in a circular motion to remove fingerprints and smudges.
Dry thoroughly: Use a dry cloth to prevent streaks.
Avoid abrasive materials: Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals.
Prevent scratches: Use coasters under glasses and placemats under dishes.

WARNING! Never use ammonia-based cleaners on tinted or treated glass. Avoid placing hot items directly on the glass surface.
