4. Install Shelves: Slide each shelf down over the poles until it rests securely on the plastic sleeves. Apply gentle pressure or use a rubber mallet (not included) to ensure the shelves are firmly seated.
5. Install Leveling Feet: Screw the leveling feet into the bottom of the poles. Adjust them to ensure the unit is stable and level on uneven surfaces.
6. Optional Wheels: If using optional wheels (not included with this model but available for other Finnhomy units), replace the leveling feet with the wheels. Ensure any locking mechanisms on the wheels are engaged for stability.
7. Place PE Mats: Lay the provided PE mats on top of the wire shelves to create a smoother surface and prevent small items from falling through.
8. Attach Safety Device: Secure the smart device (safety device) to the wall and the shelving unit to prevent accidental tipping.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Finnhomy shelving unit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the shelves and poles with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For tougher spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap and dry immediately.
• Rust Prevention: The chrome outer varnish is waterproof and designed to be anti-rust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections and ensure shelves are securely seated on the plastic sleeves. Re-tighten leveling feet if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shelving unit, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit is Wobbly: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat surface. Adjust the leveling feet by twisting them until all four feet make firm contact with the floor and the unit is stable. Verify that all shelves are properly seated on their plastic sleeves.
• Shelf Not Level: Check that the plastic sleeves for the affected shelf are positioned at the same height on all four poles. Adjust as needed.
• Items Sliding Off: Ensure PE mats are correctly placed on the shelves.
• Difficulty Assembling: Refer to the assembly steps in Section 4. Ensure plastic sleeves are correctly oriented with the 'TOP' arrow pointing upwards and are snapped securely into the pole grooves.
