Important Safety Warnings
Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in serious injury or damage to the product.
- The furniture must be assembled strictly following the provided instructions. Do not force fasteners during assembly.
- Install the cabinet only on horizontal, stable surfaces. Positioning on uneven surfaces can cause tension, leading to deformation and malfunction of closing mechanisms.
- Do not place wet or hot objects directly on the furniture surfaces. In case of contact with water or other substances, immediately clean with soft, absorbent textile materials.
- Install the cabinet in well-ventilated rooms, away from direct sunlight and direct contact with water. This furniture is not designed for outdoor installation.
- The cabinet is designed to withstand normal humidity (steam, accidental splashes). Exposure to high humidity levels will cause deterioration (swelling) not covered by warranty.
- Keep the cabinet at a minimum distance of 30 cm from heat sources.
- Clean grease or liquid marks only with a dry cloth.
- To prevent serious injury or death from overturning or falling, the cabinet must be properly secured to the wall. The appropriate wall fixings (e.g., dowels, hooks, screws) depend on your wall type and resistance. Any fixing material included is for indication only and must be verified and potentially replaced as needed for your specific wall.
- Pre-drilled holes with non-linear edges are not manufacturing defects as they do not affect stability or use and will be covered by components during assembly.
- If glue residue is present along the edge of semi-finished parts, remove it with a slightly damp cloth.

Assembly and Installation
The Mama Store Athena Wall Cabinet is supplied as a kit for self-assembly. Follow these steps carefully for proper installation.
Tools Required (Not Included):
- Screwdriver set
- Drill (for wall mounting)
- Level
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
Assembly Steps:
- Prepare the Workspace: Clear a clean, flat, and spacious area for assembly. Lay down a soft cloth or cardboard to protect the furniture panels from scratches.
- Identify Components: Refer to the parts list in the included instruction manual to identify all panels and hardware.
- Assemble the Cabinet Frame: Follow the step-by-step diagrams in the manual to connect the side, top, and bottom panels using the provided fasteners. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten.
- Install Hinges and Push-and-Pull Mechanism: Attach the door hinges to the cabinet frame. The door is reversible, allowing you to choose left or right opening during this step. Install the push-and-pull opening mechanism according to the manual's instructions.
- Attach the Door: Secure the door to the installed hinges. Adjust the hinges as needed to ensure the door aligns correctly and closes smoothly.
- Insert Glass Shelves: Place the 4mm thick glass shelves into the designated shelf supports inside the cabinet.
- Wall Mounting: This is a critical step for safety. Determine the desired location on your wall. Use a level to mark the drilling points accurately. Important: The included wall mounting hardware is indicative. You must verify its suitability for your specific wall type (e.g., drywall, concrete, brick) and replace it if necessary with appropriate dowels, hooks, and screws to ensure a secure and stable installation. Drill holes and securely attach the cabinet to the wall.

Operating Instructions
Push and Pull Opening System:
The cabinet door is equipped with a modern push-and-pull opening system. To open the door, gently press on the center of the door panel. The door will spring open slightly, allowing you to pull it fully open. To close, simply push the door firmly until the mechanism engages and holds it shut.
Reversible Door:
The door can be installed to open from either the left or the right side, depending on your preference and room layout. This flexibility is determined during the assembly process by choosing the hinge placement. If you wish to change the door's opening direction after initial assembly, you will need to detach the door and hinges, then re-attach them to the opposite side of the cabinet frame as per the assembly instructions.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Mama Store cabinet.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For grease or liquid marks, use a dry cloth immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture.
- Spills: In case of water or other liquid spills, clean immediately with soft, absorbent textile materials to prevent damage to the engineered wood.
- Humidity: While designed to resist normal humidity, avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity levels, as this can lead to swelling and deterioration not covered by warranty. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
- Heat: Do not place hot objects directly on the cabinet surface. Maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm from heat sources.
- Sunlight: Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading or discoloration.
