by bacteria or insects. It is a material that requires little maintenance. It does not need to be painted for protection.

- Steel sheet tables top
Tables tops are made with a slight down planarity deviation to avoid “spring effect” when used. Surface tables tops seem
to be concave.
- Wood and HPL tables top
Tables tops made in these materials are subject to slight warping as climate conditions vary. For this reason, differences in
alignment may occur between the various components of the table. This has no effect on performance.
- Sunshade
Before starting to open the umbrella, make sure that the fabric has not got caught in the internal ribs. To open or close the
umbrella, turn the handle in the direction indicated by the arrows and the works “Open” or “Close”. Incorrect operation could
tear the string or damage the mechanism. Never force the ropes or handles. If they get stuck, check why this has happened
and eliminate the possible cause.
Dralon or polyester fabrics: hand-wash in lukewarm water (40°C) using a detergent for delicate fabrics. Treat any oily or watery
stains with a sponge or soft brush, rinse thoroughly and dry in the shade. For more persistent stains use a gentle detergent or
stain remover. Make sure that the fabric is completely dry before putting it away. Do not spin dry. Avoid dry cleaning. For the
winter, it is advisable to remove the fabric from the structure and allow it to dry completely before putting it away.
Mechanical parts: apply a wax-based wood-stainer at least once a year before the winter season.
Close the umbrella when the weather conditions are unsuitable, i.e. strong wind or heavy rain. EMU umbrellas can be
