1. Important Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use. Keep this manual for future reference.

6. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Yamazaki Laundry Shelf, follow these care instructions:

• Wood Hanger Bar: The natural wood hanger bar can be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Environment: While designed for laundry areas, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive humidity or direct water spray to prevent potential rust or damage to the powder coating and wood.
