Operating Guidelines
The Sauder Via Hutch is designed for practical use in an office environment. Its features are straightforward to operate:
- Cabinet Doors: The two upper cabinet doors open to reveal concealed storage. Use the handles to open and close the doors smoothly. These compartments are ideal for items you wish to keep out of sight, such as binders, large files, or less frequently used office supplies.
- Cubbyhole Storage: The open cubbyhole area provides easy access storage for smaller items like notepads, envelopes, pens, or decorative items.
- Bulletin Board: The fabric-covered bulletin board allows you to pin notes, reminders, photos, or calendars using standard pushpins. This feature helps keep important information visible and organized.
Ensure that the hutch is placed on a stable, level surface, especially if not attached to a compatible lateral file, to prevent tipping.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Sauder Via Hutch.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the laminate finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the finish.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
- Heat and Moisture: Do not place hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters or protective pads under hot dishes or wet items to prevent damage.
- Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all hardware (screws, cam locks) to ensure the hutch remains stable and secure. Do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Sauder Via Hutch, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Wobbly or Unstable:

- Check all assembly hardware (screws, cam locks) and tighten any that are loose. Do not overtighten.
- If attached to a lateral file, ensure the connection points are secure.
- Doors Not Aligning/Closing Properly:
- Verify that the hutch is level.
- Check the door hinges. They may need adjustment. Refer to the assembly manual for hinge adjustment instructions.
- Ensure no items inside the cabinet are obstructing the door's path.
- Scratches or Minor Damage:
- For minor scratches on the laminate finish, touch-up pens or furniture markers matching the Classic Cherry color may be used. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
