4. Care and Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Sauder Craft Pro Series Organizer Hutch, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your organizer hutch. For more complex problems, please refer to the support section.

Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly:

• Check Alignment: Ensure the drawer slides are properly aligned and securely fastened to both the drawer and the hutch frame.
• Obstructions: Look for any objects or debris that might be obstructing the slides.
• Lubrication: A small amount of silicone spray or wax can be applied to the slides if they feel stiff.

Loose Hardware:

• Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary, but do not overtighten.

Stability Issues:

• Ensure the hutch is placed on a level surface.
• Verify that all assembly steps were completed correctly and all connections are secure.
