5. Operating Instructions
The Galano Millicent Sideboard is designed for versatile storage in your living or dining room. Its three doors conceal a 2-tier shelving system, providing ample space for various items.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the PU paper lamination finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage to the engineered wood.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Door Alignment: If doors become misaligned, refer to the troubleshooting section for adjustment instructions.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with door alignment, follow these steps:
Door Hinge Adjustment
The hinges on your cabinet doors allow for lateral and vertical adjustments to ensure proper alignment and even gaps.
- Lateral Adjustment: To adjust the door horizontally (inward or outward), turn the front screw on the hinge. Turning clockwise moves the door inward, and anti-clockwise moves it outward. Adjust until the desired gap is achieved.
- Vertical Adjustment: To adjust the door vertically (upwards or downwards), loosen the mounting plate screws on the hinge. Move the door to the desired height, then tighten the screws securely.
- Gap Adjustment: To adjust the gap between the door and the cabinet frame, loosen the hinge screw located at the hinge arm. You can then move the door closer to the cabinet or slightly away from it. Once the door is in the desired position, tighten the screw securely.
