4. Operating and Usage

The HAUGA Glass-door Cabinet is designed for versatile storage and display. Its sliding doors allow for easy access and can be positioned to cover either side of the cabinet.

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your HAUGA cabinet.

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• Cleaning Glass Doors: Use a glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the glass.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically check that all assembly fasteners are tightened and re-tighten if necessary.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the cabinet to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which can cause warping or discoloration.

6. Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Verify the back panel is properly installed. Confirm the cabinet is level on the floor; use furniture glides if needed.
• Doors Not Sliding Smoothly: Check the tracks for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the doors are correctly seated in both the top and bottom tracks. Verify that the cabinet itself is level.
• Scratched Surface: For minor scratches on the frame, touch-up paint or furniture markers matching the cabinet color may be used.
