7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Maclean MC-663 Wall Mount Shelf, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

- Dusting: Regularly dust the shelf and devices to prevent dust buildup, which can affect electronic performance and appearance.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Maclean MC-663 Wall Mount Shelf, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Shelf feels wobbly: Ensure all mounting screws securing the main bracket to the wall are fully tightened. Also, check the screws that attach the shelf support arms to the main bracket and the glass shelf to the support arms.
- Devices sliding on shelf: Verify that the glass shelf is properly seated and secured. If devices still slide, consider using non-slip pads (not included) under your devices.
- Cables are visible: Re-route cables through the integrated cable management channels. Ensure no excess cable length is exposed.
- Shelf not level: During installation, use a level to ensure the main wall mount bracket is perfectly horizontal before drilling. If already installed, you may need to slightly adjust the mounting points or use shims if the wall surface is uneven.
- Exceeding weight limit: If the shelf sags or shows signs of strain, immediately remove some devices. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 8 kg.
