6. Operating Instructions

The AKORD Oliwia S80 cabinet is straightforward to operate.

• Opening/Closing Doors: Use the handles to gently open and close the two cabinet doors. Avoid forcing the doors.
• Storage: Utilize the internal space for storing kitchen essentials, cleaning supplies, or other items. Ensure items are placed securely and do not obstruct the door closure.

7. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces (facades and body) with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and ABS edges.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent moisture damage, especially around the ABS edges which provide enhanced resistance.
• Handles: The matte handles are designed to be stain-resistant. Clean them with a damp cloth as needed.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. Doors Not Aligning Properly

If the cabinet doors do not align or close smoothly, the hinges may need adjustment. Most hinges have adjustment screws that allow for horizontal, vertical, and depth adjustments. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional.

8.2. Cabinet Wobbles

Ensure the cabinet is placed on a completely level surface. Check all assembly screws to confirm they are tightened securely. If the floor is uneven, shims can be placed under the cabinet base to stabilize it.
