1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Kits Paraná Line 3-Door 150cm Kitchen Cabinet. This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, proper use, and maintenance of your new cabinet. Please read it thoroughly before proceeding with installation or use.
The Line 3-Door 150cm Kitchen Cabinet is crafted from 15mm MDP (Medium Density Particleboard), a material chosen for its durability and environmental considerations. It features three doors equipped with robust 100% metallic hinges. The cabinet incorporates an advanced handle-less opening system where the doors extend slightly beyond the cabinet structure, overlapping the base by 5mm, allowing for easy opening without the need for external handles. An integrated lower niche enhances the cabinet's minimalist design and functionality. The surface boasts a touch-sensitive textured finish and is protected by UV light-cured paint for lasting quality.

2. Safety Information
Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Wall Mounting: This cabinet is designed for wall mounting. Improper installation can lead to the cabinet falling, causing severe injury or property damage. Ensure the wall is suitable for supporting the cabinet's weight and its contents. Use appropriate wall anchors and screws for your wall type (e.g., concrete, brick, drywall studs).
- Professional Installation: If you are unsure about wall mounting procedures, consult a qualified professional.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly inside the cabinet. Avoid placing excessively heavy objects on shelves or in compartments, especially near the front edges.
- Children: Do not allow children to climb on or hang from the cabinet doors or shelves. This can cause the cabinet to tip over.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the wall mounting hardware for tightness and signs of wear. Tighten screws as necessary.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the cabinet, especially if placed near heat sources or in humid environments.
3. Setup and Installation
Your Kits Paraná Line 3-Door 150cm Kitchen Cabinet comes pre-assembled. However, it requires secure wall mounting. Follow these steps carefully:
3.1. Required Tools (Not Included)
- Drill with appropriate drill bits
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Pencil
- Screwdriver (Phillips head)
- Appropriate screws and wall anchors for your wall type (e.g., concrete, brick, drywall studs)
3.2. Wall Mounting Instructions
- Determine Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location on your kitchen wall, ensuring there are no hidden electrical wires or plumbing pipes. Consider the desired height for comfortable access.
- Measure and Mark: Using the dimensions provided in Figure 3, measure and mark the precise drilling points on the wall. Ensure these marks are perfectly level using a spirit level.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit should match the diameter of your chosen wall anchors.
- Insert Wall Anchors: Insert the appropriate wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Mount the Cabinet: Carefully lift the cabinet and align its mounting points with the wall anchors. Secure the cabinet to the wall using suitable screws, ensuring they are tightened firmly but without overtightening to avoid damaging the cabinet material.

4. Operating and Usage
4.1. Opening and Closing Doors
The cabinet features a handle-less design. To open a door, gently pull the bottom edge of the door where it extends slightly beyond the cabinet frame. To close, push the door firmly until it is flush with the cabinet front.
4.2. Storage
Utilize the internal compartments for storing kitchen items. Distribute weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability and prevent stress on the cabinet structure and wall mounts. Avoid overloading any single section.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your cabinet:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution specifically designed for furniture. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the finish.
- Moisture Protection: Protect the cabinet from excessive moisture and spills. Wipe up any liquids immediately to prevent swelling or damage to the MDP.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration over time.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and mounting hardware for tightness. Tighten as needed to ensure the cabinet remains secure.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your cabinet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Doors Not Closing Properly:
- Check if any items inside the cabinet are obstructing the door's path.
- Inspect the hinges for any looseness or misalignment. Adjust hinge screws if necessary to realign the door.
- Cabinet Feels Loose on Wall:
- Immediately remove all contents from the cabinet.
- Re-check all wall mounting screws and anchors. Tighten any loose screws. If the anchors appear damaged or insufficient, consider replacing them with more robust options suitable for your wall type.
- If the issue persists, consult a professional for re-installation.
- Surface Scratches or Damage:
- For minor scratches, furniture repair pens or waxes matching the Freijó finish may be used.
- For significant damage, contact the retailer or a furniture repair specialist.
