Maintenance

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Top:

For daily cleaning, wipe the stainless steel top with a soft cloth and a mild detergent or stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.

Wood Frame Care:

The wood frame should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the painted wood surface. Periodically check and tighten any loose hardware.

Caster Maintenance:

Keep the casters free of debris to ensure smooth movement. If necessary, clean the wheels with a damp cloth. Lubricate the swivel mechanisms periodically with a silicone-based spray to maintain ease of movement.

Troubleshooting

• Drawers or Doors Not Aligning: Check that all screws and cam-locks are fully tightened. Adjust hinges if necessary.
• Difficulty Moving Island: Ensure caster locks are disengaged. Check wheels for debris and clean if necessary. Lubricate casters if movement remains stiff.
• Wobbling or Instability: Verify that all assembly hardware is securely fastened. Ensure the island is placed on a flat, even surface.
