4. Operating and Customization

The modular design of the Rubbermaid Configurations system allows for easy rearrangement and customization without the need for tools. This flexibility enables you to adapt your closet to changing storage needs.

• Adjusting Shelves: To adjust a shelf, simply lift it off its brackets, reposition the brackets to a new height on the uprights, and then re-seat the shelf.
• Adjusting Hang Rods: Hang rods can be moved similarly to shelves. They can also be telescoped together to create a continuous hanging space, allowing hangers to glide freely.
• Creating New Configurations: Experiment with different arrangements of shelves and rods to optimize your space for various items, from folded clothes and shoes to hanging garments.

5. Maintenance

The Rubbermaid Configurations Deluxe Custom Closet Kit features a virtually maintenance-free epoxy finish that resists snagging and rust. To keep your system in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: Wipe down shelves and rods with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware and connections to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose screws or brackets.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your closet system, consider the following:

• System Feels Unstable: Ensure all top rails are securely fastened to wall studs or appropriate heavy-duty drywall anchors. Verify that all uprights and brackets are correctly seated and tightened.
• Shelves Not Level: Check that brackets are inserted into the same height slots on all supporting uprights. Adjust as necessary.
• Difficulty Adjusting Components: Ensure that shelves are fully lifted off their brackets before attempting to move the brackets. For hang rods, ensure they are disengaged from their supports.

If problems persist, refer to the original installation guide or contact customer support.
