WARNING!

Falling furniture can be life-threatening.

If pieces of furniture tip over, this can result in serious or life-threatening injuries due to entrapment.

To prevent this piece of furniture from tipping over, it must be firmly anchored to the wall using the appropriate wall mounting device(s).

It is essential to use fixing brackets that are suitable for the walls. Examine the wall material to ensure that the load-bearing capacity is sufficient for the expected load. Always seek professional advice if you are unsure.

Before drilling, make sure that there are no gas, water or electricity pipes at the drilling site.

Please check and retighten all screws at regular intervals.

Follow each step of the instructions carefully.

To further reduce the risk of serious or even fatal injury from furniture tipping over, please observe the following:

- Always store heavy objects close to the floor.

- Never place heavy appliances on the product.

- Never allow children to climb or hang on drawers, doors or shelves.

1. When assembling, ensure that the connecting elements are firmly tightened. The connecting elements must also be checked for tightness during use.

2. Shelves, cupboards, chests of drawers, sideboards, display cabinets and all other furniture that could tip over under certain circumstances must be secured to the wall so that they cannot tip over. You are responsible for the safe use of the furniture.

3. The items are not toys for children. Children must not play with the packaging, as there is a risk of suffocation from the foil and the outer packaging can lead to injuries.

4. Special care must be taken with small parts, such as nuts, cover caps or similar, as children can swallow these and this can lead to serious injury or even suffocation.

5. The following objects must not be attached to beds, bunk beds, bunk beds or any other furniture: Ropes, cords, cords, straps, ribbons, etc. There is a risk of strangulation!

9. The horizontal notch in the bed post or in the guard rail of beds, loft beds and bunk beds indicates the maximum mattress height. This marking must still be visible when the mattress is inside so that the distance between the top edge of the mattress and the top edge of the bed is maintained. The distance between the top edge of the mattress and the top edge of the bed must be at least 16 cm.

Correct use of glass products

Correct placement and use are crucial for the safe use of glass products:

- Stable placement: glass furniture should not be placed in an unstable or wobbly position. Unstable furniture can be dangerous for children. Check the placement of the furniture and secure it to the wall if necessary. You can also improve the balance of the furniture by distributing the weight evenly to reduce the risk of it tipping over.

- Heavy objects: Avoid placing heavy objects on glass shelves or tables. Heavy objects can break the glass surfaces and cause danger. Heavy objects on high shelves pose a particular risk. Store these items on lower shelves to minimize the risk.

Safety with glass doors

Glass doors add an aesthetic touch to your home, but they can also pose some risks to children. To make glass doors safe, you can take the following measures:

- Sliding doors: sliding glass doors can cause entrapment for children. Minimize this risk by using child safety locks that prevent the doors from opening uncontrollably. Install safety catches at the top and bottom of the doors to restrict access.

- Doorstops: Use doorstops to prevent doors from closing hard and prevent children from getting their fingers caught. Also add soft-close mechanisms to prevent the doors from closing hard.

Safe use of mirrors

Mirrors are glass products used in every part of the home. For the safe use of mirrors in households with children, you should observe the following recommendations:

- Safe installation: mount mirrors securely to the wall to minimize the risk of them falling. For large mirrors in particular, it is advisable to seek professional help. Make sure that the mounting hooks and plugs are secure.

- Framed mirrors: Framed mirrors protect the edges and are safer. Avoid mirrors with sharp edges. Choose frame materials such as wood or metal that are durable.

Emergency preparation

It is important to be prepared for possible accidents involving glass products. Here are some tips for emergency preparation:

First Aid: Keep basic first aid supplies in the house to respond to injuries caused by broken glass. In particular, you should keep antiseptic agents and bandages for cuts and minor injuries. Sterile gauze bandages, plasters and scissors should also be part of the first aid kit.

Emergency numbers: Keep emergency numbers in an easily accessible place. Hang up the telephone numbers of emergency services, the fire department and close family members in a clearly visible place.

Training children in safety issues

It is important that children are trained in the safe handling of glass products:

Parental supervision: children should always be supervised when interacting with glass products. Make your children aware of the dangers of glass products. Explain to them that glass objects can break and cause injuries.

Regular training: Regularly teach your children how to handle glass products safely and the dangers they pose. Teach them how to use glass products safely. Make the training interesting by using games and stories to keep the children's attention.
