• Verify that all parts listed in the hardware pack are present. Contact customer support immediately if any parts are missing or damaged.

For safety, it is crucial to install the anti-tipping device. This device secures the cabinet to the wall, preventing accidental tipping, especially important in households with children or pets.

• Locate the anti-tipping hardware included in the package.
• Attach one end of the strap to the back of the cabinet using the provided screws.
• Position the cabinet in its desired location.
• Mark the wall where the other end of the strap will be secured.
• Drill a pilot hole in the wall (if necessary, depending on wall material) and secure the strap to the wall using appropriate anchors and screws.
• Ensure the strap is taut and the cabinet is stable.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
• Glass Doors: Clean glass panels with a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
• Hardware: Periodically check and tighten any loose screws on hinges, drawer slides, or handles.
• Stability: Regularly inspect the anti-tipping device to ensure it remains securely fastened to both the cabinet and the wall.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you discover any missing or damaged components during unpacking or assembly, do not proceed with assembly. Contact HOMCOM customer support immediately for replacement parts.
• Difficulty with Assembly: Ensure you are following the pictogram instructions precisely. Verify the orientation of each piece. If a power screwdriver is not being used, consider using one to ease the process.
• Misaligned Doors: If doors appear misaligned after assembly, check the hinge screws. They can often be adjusted slightly to correct alignment. Some minor adjustments may require creating new pilot holes if existing ones are off-center.
• Drawer Issues: If the drawer does not slide smoothly or pops out, check the drawer slides for correct installation and ensure all screws are tightened.
• Chemical Odor: New furniture may have a slight odor. Ensure the room is well-ventilated for several days after assembly to allow the odor to dissipate.
