4. Setup and Assembly

Follow these step-by-step instructions for assembling your Aoxun Open Shelf Rack. An electric drill is highly recommended for tightening screws efficiently.

1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious area for assembly. Lay down a blanket or cardboard to protect your floor and the product components.
2. Identify Components: Unpack all parts and identify them using the provided diagram. Separate hardware into distinct groups.
3. Assemble Frame Sections: Begin by connecting the steel frame pillars. Pay close attention to the orientation of the pillars, as some may have pre-drilled holes for specific shelf placements. Ensure screw holes align correctly; do not force connections.
4. Attach Shelf Boards: Secure the wooden shelf boards to the frame. Note that the two middle shelf boards are fixed from below with screws, while the side shelf boards are secured from the side of the steel frame. Ensure you use the correct frame pillars with bottom holes for the middle shelves.
5. Install Crossbars: Attach the X-shaped crossbars to the back of the unit. These provide crucial stability.
6. Install Adjustable Foot Pads: Screw the adjustable foot pads into the bottom of the frame pillars. Adjust them to ensure the unit is stable and level.
7. Install Anti-Tip Device: Securely attach the anti-tip device to the top rear of the shelving unit and then to a wall stud. This is a critical safety step.
8. Final Check: Once assembled, gently shake the unit to check for stability. Retighten any loose screws.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Aoxun Open Shelf Rack, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. The wooden shelves are designed to be waterproof and easy to clean.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the shelves and frame to prevent buildup.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: While the shelves are waterproof, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture should be avoided.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading or warping of the wood finish.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Difficulty with Assembly / Misaligned Holes:
  Solution: Double-check the instruction manual diagrams for correct part orientation. Ensure all parts are aligned before tightening screws. Do not force parts together; if a connection is too tight, gently adjust the alignment. An electric drill can assist with screw tightening, but avoid over-tightening.
• Unit is Wobbly:
  Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Adjust the foot pads on the bottom of the unit to compensate for uneven flooring until the unit is stable. Verify that the X-shaped crossbars are securely installed.
• Back Cross Brace Touches Wall:
  Solution: This is a known characteristic of the design. To prevent wall damage, consider applying felt pads or similar protective material to the points where the cross brace screws might contact the wall.
• Missing or Damaged Parts:
  Solution: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact Aoxun customer support immediately with your purchase details.
