5. Operating Instructions
Doors:
The wardrobe features 4 hinged doors. To open, gently pull the handle. To close, push the door until it latches. Avoid slamming the doors to prevent damage to hinges and the wardrobe structure.
Drawers:
The 3 drawers operate on metal slides. Pull the handle to open and push to close. Do not force drawers if they feel stuck; check for obstructions. Distribute items evenly within drawers to ensure smooth operation.
Shelves and Clothes Rails:
The wardrobe includes 4 shelves and 2 clothes rails. The shelves are adjustable to accommodate various item heights. Ensure items placed on shelves and hung on rails do not exceed the wardrobe's weight capacity.

6. Maintenance
Cleaning:
To clean the wardrobe, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish. For the mirror, use a standard glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
Hardware Check:
Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent loosening over time.
Mirror Care:
Regularly inspect the mirror for any signs of damage or loosening. If the mirror becomes loose, re-secure it immediately to prevent accidents.
7. Troubleshooting
- Wobbly Wardrobe: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the wardrobe is on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the base.
- Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the door hinges. Most hinges have adjustment screws that allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth alignment.
- 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 spray if needed.
- Mirror Loose: If the mirror feels loose, gently re-tighten its mounting hardware. Do not overtighten.
