5. Setup

After assembly, carefully move the cabinet to its desired location. Ensure the floor is level and stable. Re-check all connections and ensure the anti-tip device is properly installed and secured to the wall.

For optimal stability and safety, always use the included anti-tip hardware to anchor the cabinet to a wall stud. This prevents accidental tipping, especially in households with children or pets.

6. Operating

• Opening/Closing Doors: Use the chrome finish knobs to open and close the cabinet doors. Ensure doors close completely to protect contents.

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed.
• Door Alignment: If doors become misaligned over time, adjust the hinges as shown in the troubleshooting section.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Check that all assembly screws are fully tightened. Verify the anti-tip device is securely installed.
