4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of this unit is tool-free and straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Attach Leveling Feet: Screw the leveling feet into the bottom of each of the four posts. Ensure they are securely tightened.
- Position Snap-on Sleeves: Determine the desired height for your first shelf. Each post has grooves at 1-inch increments. Take two halves of a plastic snap-on sleeve and snap them together around a post at the desired groove. Repeat this for all four posts at the same height. These sleeves will support the shelf.
- Install First Shelf: Carefully lower a wire shelf over the four posts, ensuring that the corners of the shelf slide down over the snap-on sleeves. Apply gentle downward pressure until the shelf is firmly seated on the sleeves. The shelf should be level and stable.
- Install Remaining Shelves: Repeat step 2 and 3 for the remaining two shelves, positioning them at your desired heights. Remember that shelves are adjustable in 1-inch increments.
- Final Check: Once all shelves are installed, gently rock the unit to ensure it is stable. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the posts if necessary to compensate for uneven floors.

5. Operating Instructions
Your Nexel shelving unit is designed for efficient and organized storage. Here are some operational guidelines:
- Shelf Adjustment: To adjust a shelf's height, remove all items from the shelf. Lift the shelf off the snap-on sleeves. Remove the sleeves, reposition them at the desired 1-inch increment groove on the posts, and then re-seat the shelf.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly across the shelves to maintain stability and prevent overloading any single area.
- Environment: The poly-green epoxy finish and NSF approval make this unit suitable for both wet and dry environments, including kitchens, pantries, and storage rooms.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your shelving unit:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the shelves and posts with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the epoxy finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of wear, damage, or instability. Ensure all snap-on sleeves are securely in place and leveling feet are properly adjusted.
- Rust Prevention: While the poly-green epoxy finish is designed for moisture resistance, promptly wipe away any standing water to further prevent potential rust, especially in high-humidity environments.
7. Troubleshooting
- Unit is Unstable:
- Ensure all snap-on sleeves are correctly seated in the grooves and the shelves are firmly resting on them.
- Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of each post to stabilize the unit on uneven surfaces.
- Difficulty Adjusting Shelves:
- Remove all items from the shelf before attempting to adjust its height.
- Ensure the snap-on sleeves are fully separated before attempting to remove them from the post.
