Maintenance & Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Yaheetech Lateral File Cabinet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The cabinet's surface is protected by a water-resistant and scratch-proof coating. Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage, especially on the edges and unsealed surfaces.
• Protection: Use coasters or mats under hot items or items that may scratch the surface.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Missing or Damaged Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact customer support immediately for replacements.
• Difficulty Assembling:
  • Ensure you are using the correct screws and dowels for each step, matching them to the labels in the manual.
  • Verify that all panels are oriented correctly. Some panels may appear similar but have specific drill hole patterns.
  • For drawer slides, ensure they are properly separated and attached to both the drawer and the cabinet frame. Sometimes, the inner slide needs to be fully extended or detached before installation.
  • Do not overtighten screws, as this can strip the wood.
• Drawers Not Closing Smoothly: Check that the drawer slides are installed correctly and are not obstructed. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface.
• Cabinet Wobbles: Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened. Adjust the casters if necessary to ensure the cabinet is stable on uneven floors.
