4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the CAPHAUS shelving unit is designed to be straightforward. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Attach Leveling Feet: Screw the four leveling feet into the bottom of the lower poles. Ensure they are securely tightened.
2. Connect Poles: Insert the connectors into the top of the lower poles. Then, attach the upper poles to the connectors, twisting slightly to secure them.
3. Install Plastic Clips: Determine the desired height for your bottom shelf. Snap the two-part plastic clips around each pole at the same desired height. Ensure the arrow on each clip points upwards and that all clips are at the exact same level for a stable shelf.
4. Place First Shelf: Slide the first wire shelf down over the poles until it rests firmly on the plastic clips. Apply even pressure to all corners to ensure it is fully seated.
5. Repeat for Remaining Shelves: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining two shelves, adjusting the height of the plastic clips as needed for your storage requirements.
6. Add Top Caps: Once all shelves are in place, put the plastic caps on top of the upper poles.
7. Insert Liners: Place the clear liners on top of each wire shelf to create a smooth, flat surface.

5. Operating Instructions

Your CAPHAUS shelving unit is designed for simple and effective use.

• Adjusting Shelf Height: To adjust the height of a shelf, first remove any items from the shelf. Then, lift the shelf slightly to relieve pressure on the plastic clips. Unsnap the clips from the poles, reposition them to the desired height (in 1-inch increments), and re-seat the shelf firmly on the clips. Ensure all clips for a single shelf are at the same level.
• Leveling the Unit: If the shelving unit is uneven, rotate the leveling feet at the bottom of the poles until the unit is stable and level on your floor surface.
• Loading Items: Place items on the shelves, ensuring weight is distributed evenly. Avoid concentrating heavy items in one small area. The clear liners provide a smooth surface, preventing smaller items from falling through the wire grid.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your shelving unit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal shelves and poles with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For the clear liners, they can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then dried thoroughly.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections and ensure that the shelves are securely seated on the plastic clips. Tighten leveling feet if the unit becomes wobbly.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish of the metal or the clear liners.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shelving unit, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit is Wobbly: Ensure the unit is on a flat surface. Adjust the leveling feet by rotating them until the unit is stable. Check that all plastic clips are at the same height for each shelf and that shelves are fully seated.
• Shelf Not Level: Verify that the plastic clips for the affected shelf are all snapped into the same groove on each pole. Re-adjust if necessary.
• Difficulty Assembling: Ensure you are using the correct poles (upper and lower) and that the plastic clips are oriented with the arrow pointing upwards. Sometimes a rubber mallet can gently assist in seating shelves, but avoid excessive force.
