Operating Instructions
The Yamazaki Home Tower Expandable Support Rack is designed for versatile use in your kitchen.
- Expansion: The rack can be expanded from 22.25 inches to 36.25 inches (56.5 cm to 92 cm) in width. Gently slide the two shelf sections apart or together to achieve your desired length. Ensure the sections are evenly extended for optimal stability.
- Hook Usage: The 5 included plastic hooks can be attached to the front bar of the rack. These are suitable for hanging lightweight kitchen tools such as scissors, measuring cups, or oven mitts. Each hook supports up to 250g.
- Placement: Position the rack over a sink for drying dishes or sponges, or over a stovetop (ensuring it is not directly over heat) for spices and oils. It can also be used on any countertop to create additional vertical storage.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Yamazaki Home Tower Expandable Support Rack, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and a light soap or detergent. Immediately wipe dry to prevent water spots or rust.
- Materials: The frame is constructed from powder-coated steel. This finish is water-repellant and provides a smooth surface.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Difficulty with screw insertion during assembly.
Solution: Ensure the components are correctly aligned before attempting to insert screws. Apply gentle, consistent pressure and use the provided wrench. If a screw feels stripped, re-evaluate alignment. - Issue: Rack feels wobbly or unstable after assembly.
Solution: Double-check that all screws are fully tightened. Ensure the rack is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Distribute items evenly on the shelf to maintain balance. - Issue: Hooks do not stay in place or break easily.
Solution: Ensure items hung on the hooks do not exceed the 250g weight limit per hook. The hooks are designed for lightweight utensils.
