3.1 Stacking Multiple Units
The BTY Can Organizer is designed for stacking to maximize vertical storage.
- Assemble each unit individually as described above.
- Align the top unit directly over the bottom unit. The stands are designed to interlock for stability.
- For optimal stability, ensure the units are properly aligned before loading with cans. If stacking multiple units, it may be helpful to slightly loosen screws on the top unit, stack, then tighten for a snug fit.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Loading Cans
- Place cans onto the top rear of each shelf.
- The tilted design will allow cans to roll forward to the front for easy access.
- Ensure cans are placed within the plastic dividers to maintain organized rows. Adjust dividers as needed for different can widths.
- Avoid overloading shelves beyond their capacity to ensure smooth rolling and stability.

4.2 Retrieving Cans
Simply take a can from the front of any row. The remaining cans will automatically roll forward, ensuring a first-in, first-out rotation of your canned goods.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame and plastic dividers with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure, especially if units are stacked.
- Rust Prevention: The silver electroplating provides rust resistance. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to maintain the finish.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cans do not roll smoothly. | Overloaded shelf, uneven surface, or cans are too large/small for dividers. | Reduce the number of cans. Ensure the organizer is on a level surface. Adjust plastic dividers or use appropriate can sizes. |
| Organizer feels unstable. | Loose screws, uneven assembly, or improper stacking. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the unit is on a flat surface. If stacked, verify units are correctly interlocked. |
| Plastic dividers do not fit. | Incorrect orientation or not fully snapped into place. | Ensure dividers are oriented correctly and apply firm, even pressure to snap them into the wire shelves. |
