2. Assemble the Frame: Attach the side panels to the bottom and top panels using the provided hardware (dowels, screws, cam locks). Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Install Drawer Slides: Attach the drawer slides to the interior side panels of the cabinet frame. Pay close attention to the orientation of the slides to ensure smooth operation.
4. Assemble Drawers: Construct the two drawers, attaching the drawer fronts and installing the remaining drawer slide components. Insert the drawers into the cabinet frame.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For the rubberwood countertop, use a normal dishcloth and mild cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood and engineered wood surfaces.
• Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all screws and fasteners to ensure the cabinet remains stable and secure.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or damage to the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all screws and cam locks are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the legs to stabilize.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure no obstructions are in the slide mechanism.
• Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the door hinges. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align doors horizontally, vertically, and in depth. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if specific adjustments are needed.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: Do not attempt to force assembly with incorrect or damaged parts. Contact HOMCOM customer support for replacements.
