Operating Instructions

Drawer Operation

The drawer features soft-close, full extension glides. To open, gently pull the drawer front. To close, push the drawer until the soft-close mechanism engages, allowing it to close smoothly and quietly. Avoid forcing the drawer.

Door Operation

The cabinet door is equipped with soft-close hinges. Open the door by pulling the handle (if installed). Close by gently pushing the door until the soft-close mechanism engages.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or excessive moisture, which can damage the finish.

General Care

Regularly check all hardware connections (screws, hinges, drawer glides) and tighten if necessary. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on shelves or in drawers.

Product Care Instructions: Hand Wash (implies gentle cleaning for cabinet surfaces).

Troubleshooting

Drawer Not Closing Smoothly

• Check for obstructions in the drawer glides.
• Ensure the drawer glides are properly aligned and securely fastened.
• Verify the drawer box is assembled correctly and not warped.

Door Misalignment

• Adjust the hinges using a screwdriver. Most cabinet hinges allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments.
• Ensure the cabinet box is level and square.

Loose Hardware

• Periodically inspect and tighten all screws and fasteners. Do not overtighten.
