4. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your SEFRO Buffet. The product is designed to be easy to clean and resistant.

4.1. Cleaning

• For the white lacquered surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Wipe dry immediately.
• For the oak-effect surfaces, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills should be wiped immediately to prevent staining.

4.2. General Care

• Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters or protective mats.
• Keep the buffet away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading or warping.
• Periodically check all screws and fittings and tighten if necessary to maintain stability.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SEFRO Buffet, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

5.1. Buffet is Wobbly

• Solution: Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened. Check that the buffet is placed on a level surface. Use furniture glides or shims if the floor is uneven.

5.2. Doors Do Not Align Properly

• Solution: Adjust the hinges. Most furniture hinges allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments using a screwdriver. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if available, or gently adjust screws on the hinge plates until alignment is achieved.

5.3. Scratches or Minor Damage to Finish

• Solution: For minor scratches on lacquered surfaces, a furniture repair pen or touch-up paint matching the white finish may be used. For oak-effect surfaces, a wood repair kit can help conceal minor imperfections.
