Operating Instructions

The Demeyere Genius Wardrobe is designed for storing clothing and other personal items.

• Doors: Gently open and close the three doors using the integrated handles. Avoid forcing the doors.
• Drawers: Pull the two drawers open and push them closed smoothly. Do not slam the drawers.
• Shelves: Utilize the four shelves for folded clothing, accessories, or other items. Distribute weight evenly across shelves.
• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity for shelves and drawers to prevent damage or instability. Specific weight limits are typically found in the detailed assembly guide.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Demeyere Genius Wardrobe.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the melamine finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Dusting: Regularly dust with a dry, soft cloth.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration of the finish.
• Moisture: Protect the wardrobe from excessive moisture and humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your wardrobe, refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbly Wardrobe: Ensure the wardrobe is on a level surface. Adjust the legs if they are adjustable, or place shims under the base if needed. Check that all assembly screws are securely tightened.
• Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the door hinges. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments in height, depth, and side-to-side movement. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if available.
• Drawers Sticking: Check that the drawer slides are properly installed and free of obstructions. Ensure the drawer is not overloaded. Lubricate slides with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, do not proceed. Contact Demeyere customer support immediately.
