- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 800 kg per unit. Distribute weight evenly across shelves.
- Stability: Ensure the unit is assembled on a level surface. For added stability, especially in high-traffic areas or if the unit is tall, consider anchoring it to a wall if possible.
- Assembly: Always follow the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all components are securely fastened before loading the shelves.
- Moving the Unit: Do not attempt to move a fully loaded shelving unit. Empty the unit before relocating it.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the unit during assembly and ensure they do not climb on the shelves once assembled.
3. Setup and Assembly
The Cambro Camshelving Premium Add-on Unit is designed for straightforward assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and weight of the components.
3.1. Unpacking and Component Check
Carefully unpack all components and verify that all parts listed in the 'Included Components' section are present. The primary component included is FW966.
3.2. Assembly Steps
- Prepare the Area: Choose a clean, level, and spacious area for assembly.
- Attach Posts: Begin by connecting the vertical posts. For an add-on unit, you will connect it to an existing starter unit or another add-on unit using the shared post design.
- Install Traverses: Secure the horizontal traverses (shelf supports) to the posts at the desired heights. The system allows for adjustable shelf heights. Ensure they are level and securely locked into place.
- Place Shelf Plates: Once the traverses are in place, lay the vented shelf plates onto the traverses. Ensure they sit flush and are stable.
- Repeat for All Tiers: Continue installing traverses and shelf plates for all four tiers.
- Final Check: Before loading, gently shake the assembled unit to ensure all connections are secure and the unit is stable.

3.3. Configuration Options
The shared post design allows for seamless expansion in a straight line. For L-shape, U-shape, or T-shape configurations, optional corner connectors (sold separately) can be utilized to minimize loss in capacity and maximize space efficiency.
4. Operating the Unit
The Camshelving unit is designed for efficient and hygienic storage.
- Loading: Distribute items evenly across the shelves. Avoid concentrating heavy loads in one area.
- Adjusting Shelf Heights: To adjust a shelf, first remove any items from that shelf. Then, carefully detach the shelf plates and traverses from the posts. Reattach the traverses at the desired height and replace the shelf plates.
- Airflow: The vented design of the shelves promotes maximum airflow, which is beneficial for storing perishable products. Avoid blocking the vents with oversized items or solid liners.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Camshelving unit.
- Cleaning: The shelf plates are dishwasher safe and can be safely run through commercial dishwashers. For the frame and posts, wipe with a dry cloth or a damp cloth with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Antimicrobial Protection: The molded-in antimicrobial Camguard on the shelf plates helps inhibit the growth of mold, fungus, and bacteria, contributing to a hygienic storage environment.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit for any loose connections or signs of wear. Tighten any loose components to maintain stability.
