4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Doors
The wardrobe features two doors that open to reveal a hanging section and an upper shelf. Gently pull the knobs to open the doors. The European-style 6-way adjustable hinges allow for precise alignment and smooth operation.
4.2. Hanging Rod and Shelf
Utilize the solid wood rod to hang shirts, jackets, and other garments. The shelf above the rod is suitable for storing folded items, linens, or accessories.
4.3. Drawers
The two large lower drawers operate on smooth glides. Pull the brushed nickel hooded pulls to open the drawers. To close, gently push the drawers until they are fully seated. The safety mechanism on the glides prevents drawers from coming out completely during normal use. To remove a drawer for cleaning or access, lift it slightly while pulling forward to disengage it from the glides.

To clean the laminated surfaces, wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
