This product is designed to expand the storage capacity of your existing Nitori Steel Rack CUSTOM series.
Compatibility Information

- Important: This shelf board is NOT compatible with other Nitori rack series.

Included Components
Please check that all the following components are present before beginning installation:
- Steel shelf x 1
- Shelf board fixing parts (sleeves) x 4 (2 sets for left and right)
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your extra shelf board onto your Nitori Steel Rack CUSTOM series:
- Prepare the Rack: Ensure your Nitori Steel Rack CUSTOM is stable and assembled according to its own instruction manual. Determine the desired height for the new shelf board.
- Install Sleeves: Take the four shelf board fixing parts (sleeves). These typically consist of two interlocking halves. Snap two halves together around each of the four vertical poles of your rack at the desired height. Ensure they are securely locked in place and at the same level on all four poles to prevent a tilted shelf.
- Place Shelf Board: Carefully lower the steel shelf board onto the installed sleeves. The corners of the shelf board should rest firmly on the sleeves. Apply gentle pressure to ensure it is seated correctly and evenly.
- Verify Stability: Once the shelf board is in place, gently press down on it to confirm it is stable and does not wobble. Adjust the sleeves if necessary to achieve a level and secure fit.
For optimal stability, ensure the sleeves are positioned at the same height on all four poles.
Usage Guidelines
To ensure the longevity and safety of your Nitori Steel Rack and extra shelf board, please observe the following guidelines:
- Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly across the shelf surface. Avoid placing heavy objects solely on one side or corner.
- Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified for your Nitori Steel Rack CUSTOM series. Overloading can lead to structural damage or collapse.
- Placement: Place the rack on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
- Safety: Keep children and pets away from the rack during loading and unloading to prevent accidents.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the condition of your shelf board:
- Cleaning: Wipe the steel shelf board with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the shelf board and its fixing parts for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Ensure all connections remain secure.
