Safety instructions
• Intended Use
Once removed from its original packaging, the RIALTO L Shelving System must be placed on a perfectly flat surface.
All the RIALTO L Shelving System's supporting bases must be resting firmly on the surfaces on which it is placed; otherwise, the
RIALTO L Shelving System may lose stability, making it hazardously unstable.
Weights, objects and loads must be evenly distributed across the surfaces of the RIALTO L Shelving System and well balanced in
order to ensure stability and safety. Unevenly placed or unbalanced weights, objects and loads on the surfaces of the RIALTO L
Shelving System may reduce its stability and thus its safety.
Sharp items or anything which may damage the glass (such as chemical products containing hydrofluoric acid) should not be
placed on the surface of the RIALTO L Shelving System. If objects of this kind are placed on the surface of the RIALTO L
Shelving System in spite of this warning, you are urged to take adequate precautions to prevent damage to the float glass.
When placing sharp objects on the surface of the RIALTO L Shelving System, a mat of insulating material (such as rubber, cork,
plastic or leather) thick enough to dampen any impacts should be placed between the float glass surface and the sharp objects.
Never place items which may damage the float glass (such as chemical products containing hydrofluoric acid) on the surface.
• Warnings - Incorrect use and Non-recommended use
Below, we provide a series of warnings and examples of incorrect uses or procedures which reduce the safety of the RIALTO L
Shelving System.
The series of warnings and incorrect uses or procedures provided below is purely guideline and does not cover all the possible
circumstances for incorrect or non-recommended uses of the RIALTO L Shelving System, which must be evaluated on each
occasion.
Do not sit or stand upon the float glass surface of the RIALTO L Shelving System.
Do not use the float glass surface of the RIALTO L Shelving System as a chopping surface.
Do not strike the RIALTO L Shelving System with hammers or pointed items which may crack or shatter the glass.
Do not use powder detergents or detergents containing abrasives for cleaning the RIALTO L Shelving System, since they may
damage the float glass.
Do not use the RIALTO L Shelving System for DIY work or for mechanical, electrical or electronic repairs.
In normal conditions of use, do not tilt the product by more than 10°. Any higher angles might reduce the stability of the RIALTO L
Shelving System.
Never place items at temperatures below -30°C (such as items just taken out of the freezer), or with temperatures above +30°C
(such as foods just removed from the oven) on the RIALTO L Shelving System; exposing the surface to stresses of this kind may
damage the glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level.
Never expose the RIALTO L Shelving System to intense heat sources (such as stoves or ovens); exposing the table to stresses of
this kind may damage the float glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level. Do not expose the RIALTO L Table to
temperatures below -10°C or weather; exposure of this kind may damage the glass, reducing its strength and thus its safety level.
The RIALTO L Shelving System should be placed well away from items such as coat racks or ornaments which may accidentally
fall onto its surface.
• Moving the Shelving System
To ensure that the RIALTO L Shelving System is moved in the conditions of the utmost safety, we urge you to comply with the
instructions provided below:
