Product Description
Benefits of Maxwell Thomas Casegood Furniture and/or Occasional Tables
Maxwell Thomas casegoods and/or occasional tables were designed specifically for the
Senior Living market. All of the bedroom cabinets have leveling glides to help ensure a perfectly level and stable surface, while all bedside cabinets and dressers are covered in a moisture-protectant laminate to enhance durability. Back panels are vented so air can circulate through the cabinets, and all drawers are sealed to hold in liquids. Wardrobes provide ample storage space with height-adjustable shelves and hanging rods. All cabinets have large fixed pulls to enable better dexterity and easier operation with smooth ¾ pull, ball-bearing drawer slides. Headboards and footboards are designed to fit standard resident beds and add a touch of home to any room. Maxwell Thomas casegood furniture and occasional tables combine commercial-grade durability with traditional and transitional designs to enhance your community. Maxwell Thomas occasional tables include a sofa table, coffee table and end table. All pieces include high quality veneer, hardwood and highpressure laminate along with ball-bearing drawer slides and nylon floor glides for long-lasting durability.

• WARNING: Failure to comply with all instructions, warnings and precautions, or using the product for a purpose other than its intended use, could result in bodily injury.
• WARNING: Do not stand on this product.
• CAUTION: Do not move furniture on bare hardwood floors. At all times, place the furniture on a protective area rug or protective hardwood felt pads. This will help protect your hardwood floors from potential scratches.
• CAUTION: A minimum of two people are required to place the mini-refrigerator inside the hospitality station. Do not attempt to install the mini-refrigerator by yourself, as it could result in personal injury.
• CAUTION: Do not expose surfaces to prolonged moisture.
• CAUTION: Always check with your local authorities to ensure this product meets all applicable regulations and fire standards.
• Hospitality stations are designed to be positioned with unit backs against a wall. If the backs of the units are positioned away from the wall, the exposed cords will create tripping hazards.

Cleaning
We recommend the following cleaning practices to help maintain the appearances of the wood, veneer, thermolaminate and laminate surfaces on your Maxwell Thomas casegood furniture and occasional tables.
Wood and veneer surfaces should be cleaned with an antimicrobial wood cleaner and wiped off with a cloth or sponge. Be sure all surfaces are thoroughly dried following cleaning. The cleaning product must be safe to use on wood and veneer surfaces to prevent finish damage over time. Use of harsh chemicals or allowing liquids to sit over long periods of time will damage the finish, so we strongly discourage these practices.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures when using chemicals.
Laminate and thermolaminate surfaces should be cleaned using a damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap or detergent. Difficult stains, such as coffee or tea, can be removed using a mild household cleaner/detergent and a soft bristled brush, repeating as necessary. DO NOT use abrasive chemicals, as they can damage and discolor the surfaces. Use of bleach or other harsh chemicals can cause damage to the surfaces, so their use is strongly discouraged. Dry all surfaces immediately following cleaning and allow units to completely dry before placing items that could be damaged from moisture on the cleaned surfaces.
Maintenance
Examine the product at least every 60 days, or more often as needed, for loose screws, joints and other miscellaneous damage. Do not use the product if it has been damaged in any way. If there is damage, evaluate the extent and tighten, adjust or replace screws as needed. Use furniture touch-up markers and furniture polish for minor wood finish scratches and scuffs.

WARNING : Reducing the Risk of Entrapment
The Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW), in partnership with the FDA, has recognized potential entrapment zones in hospital bed systems and has developed dimensional guidance to reduce the risk of entrapment. The FDA considers the term “hospital bed system” to encompass the bed frame and its components, including the mattress, bed siderails, headboards and footboards, and any accessories to the bed.
The entrapment zones involve the relationship of components controlled by the healthcare facility or individual user.
