6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD wardrobe, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the laminated finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the material.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Environment: Place the wardrobe in a dry area, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or humidity, which can cause warping or discoloration.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your wardrobe, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Wobbly Structure:
  • Ensure all assembly screws and fasteners are securely tightened.
  • Verify that the wardrobe is placed on a flat, level surface. Use shims if necessary to stabilize.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly:
  • Check that the GTV roller glides are correctly installed and aligned.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions in the drawer runners.
  • Verify that the drawer box itself is assembled squarely.
• Doors Not Aligning or Closing Properly:
  • Adjust the hinges. Most furniture hinges allow for minor adjustments in three directions (up/down, left/right, in/out). Refer to the assembly manual for specific hinge adjustment instructions.
  • Ensure the wardrobe frame is square and level.
• Missing or Damaged Parts:
  • Do not attempt to force assembly with incorrect or damaged parts. Contact AKORD customer service for replacements.
