5. Operating and Adjustment

The Dolle Eliot Shelf Support features an adjustable mechanism to securely grip shelves of varying thicknesses.

1. To adjust the grip, locate the adjustment screw or mechanism on the support.
2. Loosen the mechanism slightly to allow the shelf to be inserted.
3. Place your shelf onto the support.
4. Tighten the adjustment mechanism until the shelf is held firmly and securely without wobbling. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the shelf.
5. Periodically check the tightness of the adjustment mechanism to ensure the shelf remains secure.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Dolle Eliot Adjustable Shelf Support:

• Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which may damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the support and its mounting hardware for any signs of loosening or damage. Tighten screws as needed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Dolle Eliot Adjustable Shelf Support, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Shelf is not level:
  • Ensure the support itself is mounted level. Re-adjust if necessary.
  • Check if the shelf is warped or uneven.
• Shelf feels loose or wobbly:
  • Tighten the adjustment mechanism on the support.
  • Verify that the support is securely fastened to the wall. Re-tighten mounting screws if loose.
