Maintenance
- Cleaning the Countertop: Wipe the stainless steel countertop with a dry cloth after each use. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
- Cleaning Wood Surfaces: Wipe wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately to prevent water damage. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can damage the wood finish.
- Caster Wheels: Periodically check the caster wheels for debris (e.g., hair, lint) and clean as needed to ensure smooth movement and proper locking function.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain the cart's stability and structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cart is wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners; uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the cart is placed on a level surface. |
| Drawer sticks or does not slide smoothly. | Misaligned drawer slides; debris in tracks; overloaded drawer. | Check drawer slide alignment and ensure they are securely attached. Clean any debris from the tracks. Reduce drawer contents if overloaded. |
| Cabinet doors do not close properly. | Misaligned hinges; obstruction inside cabinet. | Adjust hinges as needed to align the doors. Check for items obstructing the door closure. |
| Wheels do not roll smoothly or lock. | Debris caught in wheels; lock mechanism jammed. | Clean any hair or debris from around the wheel axles. Ensure the lock mechanism is clear and functioning correctly. |
| Scratches on stainless steel countertop. | Abrasive cleaning materials; sharp objects. | Use only soft cloths and non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid dragging sharp objects across the surface. Minor scratches may be buffed with specialized stainless steel polish. |
