6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your sideboard, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or water damage.
• Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all screws and fasteners to ensure stability.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration.

7. Troubleshooting - Door Hinge Adjustment

If your sideboard doors are not aligning correctly, appear tilted, or have uneven gaps, you can adjust the concealed hinges. There are typically three types of adjustments:

Vertical Adjustment (Top & Bottom Gap):

If there is an uneven gap at the top or bottom of the door, or between doors vertically:

1. Loosen the screws on the mounting plate that attach the hinge to the cabinet.
2. Carefully move the door up or down to reduce the gap.
3. Once the door is in the desired vertical position, tighten the screws securely.

Horizontal Adjustment (Side-to-Side Gap):

If the door is too close or too far from the cabinet side, or if there's an uneven gap between doors horizontally:

1. Locate the screw at the back of the hinge arm (often the one closest to the door edge).
2. Turn this screw clockwise to move the door inward (closer to the cabinet) or counter-clockwise to move it outward (further from the cabinet).
3. Adjust until the gap is even, then ensure the screw is tightened.

Depth Adjustment (Door to Cabinet Gap):

If the door is not flush with the cabinet frame or has a large gap when closed:

1. Loosen the screw located at the hinge arm (often the one furthest from the door edge).
2. Push the door inward or pull it outward as needed.
3. Once the door is in the desired position, tighten the screw securely.

After making any adjustments, ensure all screws are tightened and check that all gaps are evenly spaced for optimal appearance and function.
