2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

To store shoes, gently pull the handle of a tilt-out compartment. The door will tilt forward, revealing the internal shelves. Place shoes on the shelves, ensuring they fit within the compartment's depth and height. Push the door back until it closes securely.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOMCOM shoe cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the engineered wood finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage or staining.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
