Operating your M MCombo garden cabinet is straightforward. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:
- Opening/Closing Doors: Use the metal handles to open and close the double doors. The magnetic latches will help keep the doors securely shut. For added security, engage the lockable door bolt.

- Storage: Store garden tools, gardening supplies, and other outdoor items. Distribute weight evenly on shelves and avoid exceeding the 40 kg per shelf limit.
- Ventilation: While the cabinet is weather-resistant, ensure adequate air circulation around it to prevent moisture buildup inside, especially in humid conditions.

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your M MCombo garden cabinet:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior wood surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
- Wood Treatment: Although made from durable fir wood, applying a wood sealant or stain annually can further protect the wood from weathering and UV damage, enhancing its longevity and appearance.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all hinges, latches, and fasteners for tightness. Tighten any loose screws to maintain structural integrity and door function.
- Roof Inspection: Inspect the asphalt roof for any cracks or damage, especially after severe weather. Repair as needed to maintain its waterproof properties.
- Moisture Management: Ensure the area around the cabinet's base remains clear of debris to allow for proper drainage and prevent prolonged contact with standing water.
