Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your cabinet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent water damage or staining.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: While suitable for bathrooms, avoid prolonged exposure to steam or direct water spray. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:

Issue: Cabinet feels unstable or wobbly.

• Solution: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Verify the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the base to level it. Always secure the cabinet to the wall using anti-tipping hardware.

Issue: Doors do not close properly or are misaligned.

• Solution: Check that the hinges are correctly installed and tightened. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments using a screwdriver to align the doors horizontally, vertically, and for depth. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if available.

Issue: Scratches or minor damage during assembly.

• Solution: For minor scratches, a furniture repair pen or wax stick matching the Sonoma Oak finish can be used. Always assemble on a soft, protective surface to prevent such damage.
