Operating Instructions
Adjusting Shelves:
The cabinet features an adjustable shelf for flexible storage. To adjust the shelf height, carefully remove any items from the shelf. Lift the shelf slightly and remove the anti-slip shelf pins from their current holes. Reinsert the pins into the desired new height holes, ensuring they are level and fully seated. Place the shelf back onto the pins.
Soft-Close Hinges:
Your cabinet is equipped with 6-way adjustable soft-close hinges. These hinges allow for quiet door closure and precise door alignment. If doors appear misaligned, refer to the hinge adjustment instructions typically found with the hinge manufacturer's documentation or online resources. Small adjustments with a screwdriver can correct most alignment issues.

- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten as necessary.
