5. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your storage bin:
- Cleaning: Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the plastic.
- Drying: Ensure the bin is completely dry before storing items, especially if storing moisture-sensitive materials.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the weight capacity of the drawer or the stacked units to prevent damage.
- Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
6. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drawer sticks or does not slide smoothly. | Obstruction in the drawer track; drawer is overloaded; unit is not on a flat surface. | Check for debris in the tracks and remove. Reduce the weight of items in the drawer. Ensure the bin is placed on a level surface. |
| Stacked units feel unstable. | Units are not properly aligned; bottom unit is overloaded or on an uneven surface. | Realign the units, ensuring the grooves interlock correctly. Distribute weight evenly. Place on a firm, level surface. |
| Plastic appears cloudy or scratched. | Use of abrasive cleaners; contact with sharp objects. | Use only soft cloths and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid placing sharp objects directly against the plastic. |
