Leveling the Cabinet
The cabinet is equipped with robust leveling feet. Rotate these feet clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the height and ensure the cabinet is perfectly stable and does not wobble on uneven floors.
Wall Anchoring (Recommended)
For maximum safety and to prevent tipping, especially in active environments, utilize the provided wall anchoring kit. Follow the instructions in the assembly guide to securely attach the cabinet to a wall.
Operating Your Cabinet
Opening and Closing Doors
The cabinet doors feature magnetic stoppers that ensure they remain securely closed. Apply gentle pressure to the handles to open the doors. To close, simply push the doors until the magnets engage.
Adjusting Shelves

- Empty the shelf of all contents.
- Carefully lift the shelf and remove the metal support brackets from their current slots.
- Reinsert the support brackets into the desired slots on the side panels, ensuring they are at the same height on both sides.
- Place the shelf back onto the newly positioned brackets.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure your PAOFIN storage cabinet remains in excellent condition for years to come.
Cleaning
The cabinet is constructed from heavy gauge cold-rolled steel plate with an environmentally friendly paint finish, making it anti-rust, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean. To clean:
- Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth after cleaning.
General Care
- Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
- Avoid dragging the cabinet when moving it; always lift to prevent damage to the leveling feet or floor.
