Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and cam locks to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Avoid Moisture: While the cabinet is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture should be avoided. Wipe up spills immediately.
Troubleshooting
- Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all cam locks are fully tightened. Verify the backer board is securely attached. If the cabinet is not wall-mounted, consider doing so for added stability.
- Door Misalignment: Check the hinge adjustments. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align the door. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions or the assembly video for guidance.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you discover any missing or damaged parts during or after assembly, please contact Prepac customer support for assistance.
