Hesperide POLYNESIA Bedienungsanleitung Seite 10

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.
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.
Cushions care instructions
Wash by hand in warm water. Do not dry-clean, do not use the tumble dryer, do not use the
iron. Leave to dry in the sun before putting the cushions back in place.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong
climatic hazards or exceptional weather conditions can have repercussions on the look,
correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin with a ventilation
system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but
ensure that you wipe it to prevent the water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged
humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance of rust indeed mould.
Temperature conditions
Outdoor furniture is not made to bear low temperature conditions, even less winter temperatures,
which are likely to alter its correct operating and its surface condition. it is also
sensitive to ambient humidity. It is therefore advised to store it in a dry, ventilated and closed
place. Putting a tarpaulin on it is therefore not necessary. Before any siding, clean and dry
the products well, to prevent the appearance of unpleasant odours or mould.
If you do not have a dry, ventilated and closed place, the use of tarpaulin with a ventilation
system is essential to cover the furniture that remains outside. A protective tarpaulin in fact
reduces the impact of external aggressions (damage due to trees, animals, pollution,...) over
its lifespan. If the floor is damp, it is advised to insert a wedge between the floor and the feet
to avoid a transfer of humidity. In the event of a table that spends winter outside, giving a
slight angle also prevents water and dead leaves collecting on the tarpaulin.
In the event of prolonged non-use, if the storage and tidying away recommendations are not
followed, the result will be an accelerated deterioration to its surface condition and its correct
operating.
