- 1 x Wenko Classic Plus Wall Shelf (White, Steel)

3. Safety Instructions
- Ensure the mounting surface is suitable and strong enough to support the shelf and its contents.
- Do not overload the shelf. Refer to the specifications for maximum weight capacity.
- Keep small parts (screws, dowels) out of reach of children.
- Always use appropriate tools and wear safety gear (e.g., eye protection) during installation.
- If drilling, be aware of hidden electrical wires or water pipes behind the wall.
4. Setup and Installation
The Wenko Classic Plus Wall Shelf can be installed using the included screws and dowels for a permanent fixture. Alternatively, it is compatible with Wenko's Vacuum-Loc, Turbo-Loc, or Power-Loc adhesive systems (sold separately) for drilling-free installation.
4.1. Installation with Screws and Dowels (Recommended for maximum stability)
- Choose Location: Select a suitable, clean, and dry wall surface in your bathroom or desired area. Ensure there are no hidden pipes or electrical lines.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the shelf against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting holes.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type and the size of the included dowels, carefully drill holes at the marked points.
- Insert Dowels: Push the plastic dowels into the drilled holes until they are flush with the wall surface. If necessary, gently tap them with a hammer.
- Mount Shelf: Align the shelf's mounting holes with the inserted dowels. Insert the screws through the shelf and into the dowels. Tighten the screws firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the wall or shelf.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Wenko Classic Plus Wall Shelf, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the shelf regularly with a dry, soft cloth. For more stubborn marks, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying thoroughly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical detergents, as these can damage the white special coating and rust protection.
- Rust Protection: The shelf features a high-grade rust protection coating. To maintain this, avoid prolonged exposure to standing water and ensure good ventilation in the bathroom.
7. Troubleshooting
- Shelf feels loose after installation: Ensure screws are tightened properly. If using adhesive systems, re-check installation instructions for that specific system. The wall material might not be suitable for the chosen mounting method.
- Signs of rust: While the shelf has high-grade rust protection, prolonged exposure to moisture or damage to the coating can lead to rust. Ensure proper ventilation and dry the shelf after use. If rust appears, clean immediately with a non-abrasive rust remover suitable for coated steel.
- Items sliding off: Ensure items are placed securely and the shelf is level. Avoid placing items that are too tall or unstable.
