- Cleaning: Wipe the tray with a dry cloth as needed to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which may damage the finish.

5. Troubleshooting
The Staples Front Loading Letter Tray is a simple, non-mechanical product, so troubleshooting is minimal. However, here are a few common considerations:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tray wobbles or is unstable. | Uneven surface; tray overloaded; plastic feet missing or damaged. | Ensure the tray is placed on a flat, level surface. Reduce the load if it's excessively heavy. Check that all plastic feet are present and properly attached. |
| Documents slide out easily. | Tray is not level; too few documents to provide friction. | Verify the tray is on a level surface. For very few documents, consider using a file folder to keep them upright within the tray. |
| Scratches on desk surface. | Plastic feet are missing or dislodged. | Inspect the bottom of the tray and ensure all plastic feet are securely in place. If missing, contact Staples for assistance. |
