5. Operating Instructions

Your AKORD 2-Door Wardrobe is designed for easy and functional use.

Doors:

The wardrobe features two doors without external handles. To open, gently pull the door from the recessed edge or designated opening area. Close the doors by pushing them firmly until they are flush with the wardrobe frame.

Drawers:

The two drawers operate on GTV roller guides, ensuring smooth opening and closing. To open, pull the drawer front from the recessed area. To close, push the drawer firmly until it is fully seated. The integrated ejection lock prevents the drawer from being accidentally pulled out completely, enhancing safety. To remove a drawer for cleaning or maintenance, refer to the specific instructions in the assembly guide for disengaging the ejection lock.

Internal Storage:

• Hanging Rail: Use the integrated hanging rail to store clothes on hangers.
• Shelf: The internal shelf provides additional space for folded garments, accessories, or other items.
• Drawers: Ideal for smaller items, undergarments, or accessories.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD wardrobe.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the laminated finish and ABS edging.
• Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining or moisture damage.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
• Drawer Guides: If drawer operation becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone spray lubricant can be applied to the roller guides.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Wobbly Wardrobe:
  • Ensure all assembly screws are tightened.
  • Verify the wardrobe is on a level surface. Use shims if necessary.
• Doors Not Aligning:
  • Adjust the door hinges. Most hinges have adjustment screws to move the door up/down, left/right, and in/out. Refer to the assembly guide for specific hinge adjustment instructions.
• Drawers Sticking or Not Closing Smoothly:
  • Check that the drawer guides are correctly installed and free of obstructions.
  • Ensure the drawer is not overloaded.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the roller guides.
  • Verify that the drawer box itself is assembled squarely.
