HOMCOM 4-Tier Media Cabinet with Tempered Glass Doors

Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your HOMCOM 4-Tier Media Cabinet. Designed for organizing audio-visual equipment, vinyl records, and other media, this cabinet features adjustable shelves, tempered glass doors, and integrated cable management. Please read these instructions thoroughly before assembly and use to ensure safe and proper functionality.

Safety Information

• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 66 lbs (total) or 11 lbs per single tier. Overloading can cause instability and damage.
• Anti-Toppling Device: An anti-toppling device is included to enhance stability and prevent accidental tipping. It is highly recommended to install this device securely to a wall, especially in households with children or pets.
• Tempered Glass: Handle glass components with care. Tempered glass is designed to be safer than regular glass, but it can still break if subjected to sharp impacts.
• Assembly: Follow all assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely before use. Do not use power tools for tightening screws unless explicitly instructed, as this may strip threads or damage components.
• Placement: Place the cabinet on a level, stable surface. Avoid placing it in areas with high humidity or direct sunlight, which can affect the material's integrity.
• Proposition 65 Warning: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Operating Instructions

Adjustable Shelves

The upper and lower shelves of the media cabinet are adjustable to three different height levels. To adjust a shelf:

1. Remove any items from the shelf.
2. Carefully lift the shelf to remove it from its current support pegs.
3. Relocate the shelf support pegs to the desired set of holes on the side panels. Ensure pegs are inserted evenly on both sides.
4. Place the shelf back onto the support pegs, ensuring it is level and stable.

Tempered Glass Doors

The cabinet features tempered glass doors with a push-to-open latch mechanism. To open a door, gently push on the door panel. The latch will release, allowing the door to swing open. To close, push the door firmly until the latch engages.

Maintenance

• Cleaning Wood Surfaces: Wipe wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, which can damage the finish.
• Cleaning Glass Doors: Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the tempered glass doors. Spray cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass, to prevent overspray onto wood components.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or warping of the wood finish.

Troubleshooting

• Cabinet is Wobbly: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Check that all assembly screws and cam locks are fully tightened. If an anti-toppling device is installed, ensure it is securely fastened to the wall.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check that the push-to-open latches are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure hinges are securely fastened and not bent. Adjust the position of the latches if needed.
• Shelves Not Level: Verify that the shelf support pegs are inserted completely and evenly into the corresponding holes on both side panels.
• Missing Parts or Damaged Components: If you find any missing parts or damaged components upon unpacking, do not proceed with assembly. Contact HOMCOM customer support or your retailer for assistance.
