Safety Information

• Use caution when moving on uneven surfaces to prevent tipping.
• Do not allow children to play on, with, or around the cart.
• Keep the cart on a covered patio or porch area to protect from weather conditions.

Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the GDLF Outdoor Storage Cabinet and Grill Prep Table requires careful attention to the provided instructions. Two people are recommended for assembly.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Phillips head screwdriver
• Drill with small drill bits (may be needed for pilot holes)

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unpack all components. Verify that all parts are present and undamaged. Refer to the parts list in your included instruction booklet.
2. Air Out Wood: It is recommended to allow the wood pieces to air out for a few days prior to assembly, especially if a strong varnish odor is present.
3. Follow Illustrated Guide: Assemble the unit according to the step-by-step illustrations provided in the separate assembly guide. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece.
4. Door Installation: When installing cabinet doors, note that pilot holes may not be pre-drilled. Use a small drill bit to create pilot holes before inserting screws to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper alignment. Use caution as screws may be low quality and prone to stripping.
5. Secure Top and Shelves: Ensure the stainless steel top and internal shelves are securely fastened. Note that the bottom and top shelves are not solid, which may allow for small gaps.
6. Caster Attachment: Attach the casters to the base of the unit for mobility. Ensure they are securely tightened.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your GDLF Outdoor Storage Cabinet and Grill Prep Table.

Cleaning:

• Stainless Steel Top: Wipe with a dry cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Wood Surfaces: Wipe wood surfaces with a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Protection:

• Wood is a natural product and is susceptible to weather, temperature, and humidity changes. To protect your prep table for long-term use, we recommend keeping it on a covered patio or porch area.
• Use the provided waterproof cover when the unit is not in use or during inclement weather. Ensure the unit is clean and dry before covering.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your GDLF Outdoor Storage Cabinet and Grill Prep Table.

Assembly Challenges:

• Missing Pilot Holes: If you encounter parts, particularly for cabinet doors, without pre-drilled pilot holes, use a small drill bit to create them. This prevents wood splitting and ensures screws are properly seated.
• Stripped Screws: If screws strip during assembly, replace them with higher-quality screws of the same size, or consider using wood glue in conjunction with the original screws for added stability.
• Unclear Instructions: Review the assembly illustrations carefully. If a step is unclear, try re-orienting the pieces as shown in the diagrams.

Product Performance:

• Strong Odor: New wood products may have a strong varnish odor. Allow the unit to air out outdoors for several days before extensive use.
• Metal Top Oxidation: The stainless steel top may show signs of oxidation over time, especially if exposed to harsh weather or certain chemicals. Regular cleaning and use of the waterproof cover can help mitigate this.
• Gaps in Shelves: The slatted design of the bottom and top shelves may have small gaps. If this is a concern for pests or dirt, consider adding a liner or using silicone caulk to seal gaps.
