5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning
The metal surface of the filing cabinet is non-porous, making it easy to clean. Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe down all surfaces and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
5.2 Drawer Rail Lubrication
If drawers begin to stick or operate less smoothly over time, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the drawer rails. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.
6. Troubleshooting
- Drawers are difficult to open or close:
- Check if the cabinet is on a level surface. Uneven surfaces can cause misalignment.
- Ensure drawers are not overloaded beyond the specified capacity (18 kg per drawer).
- Inspect drawer rails for any obstructions or damage. Clean and lubricate if necessary (refer to Maintenance section).
- Lock mechanism is not working:
- Ensure the top drawer is fully closed before attempting to lock it.
- Verify you are using the correct key and that it is fully inserted.
- Avoid forcing the key or lock. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Cabinet feels unstable:
- Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened.
- Place the cabinet on a firm, level surface.
- Distribute weight evenly within the drawers.
