Operating Instructions
Using the Drawers
- Opening: Pull the drawer handle gently to open. The full-extension rails allow the drawer to slide out completely for easy access to contents.
- Closing: Push the drawer firmly until it is fully closed and flush with the cabinet front.
- Loading: Distribute weight evenly within the drawer. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 30 kg per drawer.
- Hanging Files: Utilize the integrated rails within each drawer for A4 hanging files to organize documents efficiently.
Locking and Unlocking
- To Lock: Ensure all three drawers are fully closed. Insert one of the provided keys into the lock cylinder located on the top drawer. Turn the key clockwise until it stops. Remove the key. All drawers are now secured.
- To Unlock: Insert the key into the lock cylinder. Turn the key counter-clockwise until it stops. Remove the key. The drawers can now be opened.
- Key Management: Keep the spare key in a secure location separate from the cabinet.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Drawer Rails: Periodically check the drawer rails for any debris or dust. If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rails, but avoid over-lubrication.
- Lock Mechanism: If the lock becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite powder or a specialized lock lubricant into the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
- Stability Check: Regularly check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain cabinet stability.
Troubleshooting

| Drawers are stiff or do not slide smoothly. | Debris on rails, bent rails, overloaded drawer. | Clean rails, check for damage, reduce drawer load. Apply silicone lubricant if needed. |
