6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD Armoire S60, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or moisture damage, especially on the ABS edges.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Drawer Slides: If drawer operation becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the slides.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct exposure to strong sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration over time.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your AKORD Armoire S60.

• Wardrobe feels unstable:
  Ensure the wardrobe is placed on a level surface. Verify that all assembly screws are tightened. Most importantly, confirm that the wardrobe is securely anchored to the wall using the provided anti-tip hardware.
• Doors do not align or close properly:
  Check that the wardrobe is level. Adjust the hinges on the doors. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments using a screwdriver to align the doors vertically, horizontally, and in depth.
• Drawers are stiff or do not slide smoothly:
  Ensure the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions in the slides. A small amount of silicone lubricant can improve smoothness. Verify that the drawer contents do not exceed the 15 kg weight limit.
• Damage during transport:
  If components arrived damaged, please contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service immediately with details and photographic evidence of the damage.
• Difficulty with assembly:
  Refer to the detailed assembly instructions booklet. If specific steps are unclear, consider seeking assistance from a second person or contacting customer support for clarification.
