2. Safety Information

• Always read and understand all instructions before assembly and use.

4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

The LITFAD Shoe Storage Cabinet features an integrated structure designed for straightforward assembly. While an assembly tool is included, having a Phillips head screwdriver may also be beneficial. It is recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of handling larger panels.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on your prepared soft surface. Refer to the parts list (if provided separately or in diagrams) to identify each panel and hardware piece.
2. Assemble the Main Frame: Connect the side panels to the bottom and top panels using the provided screws and dowels. Ensure all connections are snug and aligned.
3. Attach the Back Panel: Slide or fasten the back panel into the grooves or onto the back of the assembled frame. Secure it with small nails or screws as indicated.
4. Install Shelf Pins: Insert the shelf pins into the pre-drilled holes at your desired height for each shelf. The shelves are adjustable, allowing customization of storage space.
5. Place Shelves: Carefully place the shelves onto the installed shelf pins. Ensure they are level and secure.
6. Attach Doors: Mount the hinges to the cabinet frame and the doors. Align the doors with the cabinet opening and secure the hinges. Adjust hinges as needed for proper door alignment and smooth operation.
7. Install Handles: Attach the door handles to the pre-drilled holes on the doors.
8. Final Check: Verify that all connections are tight and the cabinet is stable. If anti-tip hardware is to be used, install it according to its specific instructions.

5. Operating Instructions

Your LITFAD Shoe Storage Cabinet is designed for practical and efficient shoe organization.

• Opening and Closing Doors: The cabinet features a push-to-open mechanism. Gently press the door to release the latch, then pull to open. To close, push the door firmly until it latches securely.
• Adjusting Shelves: The internal shelves are adjustable. To change a shelf's height, remove all items from the shelf, lift the shelf, remove the shelf pins, reposition the pins into the desired pre-drilled holes, and then place the shelf back onto the pins.
• Capacity: The multi-layer design provides ample space for various shoe types. It can accommodate multiple pairs of shoes, including men's and women's shoes up to size 15. The removable shelves allow for storage of taller items like boots.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shoe storage cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Moisture Protection: While the cabinet is moisture-proof, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive humidity or direct water contact.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shoe storage cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:

• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon unpacking, do not proceed with assembly. Contact LITFAD customer support immediately for assistance.
• Difficulty Assembling: Review the assembly instructions carefully, paying close attention to diagrams and part orientations. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. If difficulties persist, consider seeking assistance from another person.
• Doors Not Aligning or Closing Properly: Check that the hinges are installed correctly and securely. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align the doors. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions or contact support if needed.
• Cabinet Unstable or Wobbling: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Verify that all assembly screws and fasteners are fully tightened. If applicable, install and properly secure any anti-tip hardware.
• Shelves Not Fitting: Confirm that the shelf pins are inserted into the correct holes and are fully seated. Ensure the shelf itself is not warped and is oriented correctly.
