Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. No tools are typically required for Keter products, as parts snap together.

1. Prepare the Base: Place the Base Panel (D) on a flat, clean surface.
2. Attach Side Panels: Align the Side Panels (C) with the grooves on the Base Panel (D) and firmly press down until they click into place. Ensure the integrated handles are facing outwards.
3. Connect Front and Back Panels: Slide the Front Panel (A) and Back Panel (B) into the corresponding grooves of the assembled side panels and base. Apply firm, even pressure until all connections are secure.
4. Install Wheels: If your model includes wheels (G), insert them into the designated slots on one of the short ends of the base. Ensure they are securely clicked into place.
5. Attach Hinges: Secure the Hinges (F) to the back panel (B) and the Lid (E) according to the pre-drilled holes. Ensure the lid opens and closes smoothly.
6. Secure the Lid: Carefully align the Lid (E) with the assembled body and snap the hinges into their final position on the back panel. Test the lid's movement.
7. Optional Locking Mechanism: If your model includes a locking mechanism (H), attach it to the front of the lid and front panel as per the instructions provided with the mechanism. Note: A padlock is not included.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Keter Comfy Storage Box, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the box regularly with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, brushes, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the resin surface.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive household cleaner can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
• Winter Care: While the box is weatherproof, it is recommended to empty it of sensitive items during extreme winter conditions. Ensure the lid is closed to prevent snow and ice accumulation inside.
