5. Operating Instructions

• Opening/Closing Doors: Gently pull the handles to open the barn doors. Push them firmly to close.
• Using the Drawer: Pull the drawer handle to open. Push it completely closed until it latches. The drawer features smooth-gliding slides for easy operation.
• Adjusting Shelves: To adjust a shelf, remove all items from it. Lift the shelf and remove the four shelf pins from the side panels. Reinsert the pins into the desired holes at the new height, ensuring they are level, then place the shelf back on the pins.
• Loading Items: Distribute weight evenly on shelves and in the drawer. Place heavier items on lower shelves for better stability.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Sunlight Exposure: While the cabinet is fade-resistant, prolonged direct sunlight can still affect the finish over time. Position the cabinet away from direct, intense sunlight if possible.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cabinet is Wobbly: Ensure all assembly hardware is fully tightened. Check that the cabinet is on a level surface. Use shims if necessary to stabilize.
• Doors Don't Close Properly: Check hinge alignment. Loosen hinge screws slightly, adjust the door position, and re-tighten. Ensure no items inside are obstructing the doors.
• Drawer Sticks or Doesn't Glide Smoothly: Verify that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure the drawer is not overloaded. Check for any debris in the drawer slides.
• Missing Parts: If you find any parts missing during assembly, please contact customer support with your purchase details.
