- Moisture Protection: The cabinet is moisture-proof. However, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture. Promptly wipe up any spills.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Avoid Scratches: Use coasters or protective pads if placing items on top of the cabinet to prevent scratches.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing parts or damaged panels upon arrival. | Shipping damage or packaging error. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact LITFAD customer support immediately with your order details and photos of the damage/missing parts. |
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable after assembly. | Screws not fully tightened; panels not properly aligned. | Ensure all screws, dowels, and cam locks are fully tightened. Check that panels are correctly seated in their grooves. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. |
| Doors do not close properly or are misaligned. | Hinges not installed correctly or require adjustment. | Check hinge installation. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments using a screwdriver to align the doors horizontally, vertically, and for depth. |
| Difficulty inserting shelves. | Shelf pins not fully inserted or misaligned. | Ensure shelf pins are fully inserted into the corresponding holes on both sides. The shelf should rest evenly on all four pins. |
