Operation and Usage

The LUXOR MBS-STR-21-12S cabinet is designed for intuitive use and flexibility.

• Loading Bins: Place items into the clear storage bins. Distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on the bins and rails. Each small bin can hold up to 20 lbs.
• Inserting and Removing Bins: Slide bins into the cabinet along the rails. To remove a bin completely, gently lift the front of the bin slightly while pulling it out to clear the safety stop. Refer to Figure 5 for visual guidance.
• Mobility: To move the cabinet, ensure the locking brakes on the casters are disengaged. Push the cabinet gently from a stable point.
• Stationary Use: Once the cabinet is in its desired location, engage the locking brakes on at least two casters to prevent unintended movement.
• Using Side Panels: The dry erase whiteboard panel can be used with standard dry erase markers. Erase promptly after use to prevent ghosting.
• Labeling: Utilize the ticket inserts on the bin handles for clear labeling of contents, improving organization and access.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your storage cabinet.

• Cleaning Surfaces: Wipe down the cabinet frame and bins with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Caster Maintenance: Periodically check casters for debris (e.g., hair, lint) that may impede rolling. Clean as needed. Ensure casters are securely attached.
• Bin Rails: Keep bin rails free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose hardware.
