Operating Instructions

This storage unit is designed for organizing CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and other small items. Its primary feature is the adjustable shelving system.

Adjusting Shelves

• The unit includes 36 compartments with shelves that can be adjusted to different heights.
• To adjust a shelf, carefully remove any items placed on it.
• Lift the shelf out of its current support pegs.
• Reinsert the shelf into the desired peg holes, ensuring it is level and securely seated on all four support pegs.
• This allows customization of compartment sizes to accommodate various media formats or decorative items.

Loading the Unit

• Distribute the weight of your items evenly across the shelves to maintain stability.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 1.5 kg per compartment or 50 kg total for the entire unit.
• Avoid placing heavy items on the very top of the unit unless it is securely wall-anchored.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOMCOM storage unit.

• Cleaning: Wipe the unit regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the melamine coating.
• Moisture: Keep the unit dry. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause swelling or damage to the MDF material.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all assembly screws and fasteners. Re-tighten them if they have become loose to maintain structural integrity.
• Sunlight: Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may cause discoloration over time.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your storage unit, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Unit Instability: If the unit feels wobbly, ensure it is placed on a completely level surface. Verify that all assembly screws are fully tightened. If instability persists, ensure the unit is properly anchored to the wall using the provided anti-tipping hardware.
• Shelf Sagging: If a shelf appears to sag, check that the weight placed on it does not exceed the maximum capacity of 1.5 kg. Redistribute items to ensure even weight distribution. Ensure the shelf is correctly seated on all four support pegs.
• Difficulty Adjusting Shelves: Ensure no items are on the shelf you are trying to adjust. Gently lift the shelf straight up from its pegs before attempting to move it. Do not force shelves into position.
• Missing Parts: If you find any parts missing during assembly, refer to the contact information provided in your purchase documentation or on the HOMCOM website for assistance.
