In order to retain the full warranty entitlement, these instructions must be strictly adhered to.

It is recommended that you sort the panels prior to laying to ensure the desired graining pattern and possibly color nuances. Once the packs are opened, start working immediately!

Before laying begins, a decision is needed on which installation pattern to choose.

• Before connecting any two panels, it must be ensured that all profiles of each panel are absolutely free from impurities, i.e., the profiles must be clean (no shavings, no wood residues or other foreign matter).
• Connection of the long sides of two panels is always created by angleengaging tongues and grooves .
• The long and short sides of two panels cannot be connected by simply placing them against each other or angleengaging into each other, but always with the aid of a hammering block, hammer and finishing tap.
• Once two panels are interlocked, the edge symmetry must always be checked along the V-joint, i.e., no misalignment or protrusion should be noticeable or palpable. The most precise laying possible, from the first connection on, prevents any error propagation and guarantees the best possible laying result. It is advisable to use an auxiliary panel (0).
• During the laying of complete, untrimmed panels, the long groove side is always oriented in the laying direction or facing the installer.
• A gap of 12 mm must always be observed on all sides between the border panels and the adjoining room boundaries (walls, stairs, ledges, floor-level windowsills, door frames etc.). Add2 spacer wedges can be used for this purpose on all sides.
• No gluing must be performed when laying complete panels together. It is only when filling (closing) the remaining triangular areas [15] using small cutouts or when joining to drilled holes for heating pipes [19] that wood glue (white glue D2/D3) can be used as required.
• Should the use of wood glue in any form be deemed necessary, care must be taken to ensure that any glue overflowing or welling out is removed immediately and without residue with a wet cloth, in order to preserve the visual quality of the floor when in use. The use of wood glue refers here explicitly to connecting individual panels to each other – the floating installation of the entire flooring remains fundamentally unaffected by this.
