2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Assembly Safety: Always assemble the cabinet on a clean, flat, and stable surface. Ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly. Use appropriate tools and follow the instructions carefully. It is recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of handling larger components.
• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 180 lbs per shelf. Distribute weight evenly across shelves to maintain stability. Overloading can cause the cabinet to tip or shelves to collapse.
• Stability: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims to stabilize. Avoid placing heavy items on the top of the cabinet, especially if it is not anchored to a wall.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the assembly area. Do not allow children to climb on or play with the cabinet, as it may tip over and cause serious injury.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect the cabinet for any loose parts, damage, or signs of wear. Tighten fasteners as needed.

3. Re-insert the shelf clips into the desired holes on the side panels, ensuring they are at the same height on both sides to keep the shelf level.
4. Place the shelf back onto the newly positioned clips, ensuring it is securely seated.

Using the Lock and Keys:

The cabinet is equipped with a high-grade lock to secure your stored items. Two keys are provided for convenience and as a backup.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Wanfu Metal Storage Cabinet.

• Cleaning: The powder-coated finish is easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Door Hinges and Lock: If the door hinges become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the lock mechanism operates smoothly. Do not force the key if it feels stuck.
• Environmental Conditions: While durable, avoid exposing the cabinet to extreme humidity or direct prolonged moisture, which could lead to rust over time.
