Operating Instructions

Using the Tilt-Out Compartment:

The cabinet features a tilt-out door designed to conceal a trash bin or laundry hamper. Gently pull the handle on the tilt-out door to open it. Insert a standard 14.5-gallon (55 L) trash bin (not included) or laundry bag into the compartment. Push the door back until it closes securely. This mechanism helps contain odors and keeps contents out of sight and away from pets.

The tilt-out compartment can be used for a trash bin, laundry hamper, or pet food storage, keeping items hidden and secure.

Using the Drawers:

The two top drawers provide convenient storage for utensils, small kitchen gadgets, or other household items. Pull the knobs to open and push to close. The smooth slide rails ensure easy access.

Adjustable Shelf:

The enclosed side cabinet features a 3-position adjustable shelf. To adjust the shelf height, remove the shelf, reposition the shelf pins to your desired height, and then place the shelf back on the pins. This allows for flexible storage of various-sized items.

The cabinet offers expanded storage with two large drawers and an enclosed side cabinet featuring a 3-position adjustable shelf for versatile organization.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish. For the rubber wood countertop, use a mild wood cleaner and wipe dry immediately.

General Care:

Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary. Avoid placing hot items directly on the countertop without protection. Protect the cabinet from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Cabinet feels wobbly: Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the anti-toppling devices are securely installed to a wall stud.
• Drawers do not slide smoothly: Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and free from obstructions. Lubricate the slides with a silicone-based spray if needed.
• Tilt-out door not closing properly: Inspect the tilt-out mechanism for any misalignment or obstructions. Ensure the trash bin inside is not interfering with the door's movement.
• Chemical smell: New furniture may have a slight odor. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room for a few days after assembly to allow the smell to dissipate.
