6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your wardrobe.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for furniture. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood material.
• Sunlight and Heat: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause fading or warping.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wardrobe, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Wobbly Wardrobe:
  Solution: Ensure the wardrobe is on a level surface. Check all assembly fasteners and tighten them. If an anti-tip kit is installed, ensure it is securely fastened to the wall.
• Doors Not Closing Properly/Misaligned:
  Solution: Adjust the hinges. Most hinges have screws that allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions or a general guide for hinge adjustment. Ensure the wardrobe is square.
• Drawers Sticking/Not Sliding Smoothly:
  Solution: Check if the drawer is overloaded. Ensure the drawer slides are properly aligned and securely attached to both the drawer box and the wardrobe frame. Lubricate slides with a silicone-based spray if necessary.
• Scratches/Minor Damage:
  Solution: For minor scratches, a furniture repair pen or wax stick matching the finish color can be used.

If problems persist, contact Kappesberg customer support.
