To prevent injury and damage to the product, please observe the following safety precautions:

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SONGMICS steel cabinet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
• Rust Prevention: The cabinet is made of powder-coated steel, which is resistant to rust. However, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or high humidity to prevent potential corrosion.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Moving the Cabinet: When moving the cabinet, empty its contents first. Lift the cabinet rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the feet or floor.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Cabinet is Wobbly:
  • Ensure all screws and bolts are securely tightened.
  • Adjust the leveling feet (if installed) to compensate for uneven flooring.
  • Verify the cabinet is placed on a flat, stable surface.
• Doors Do Not Close Properly:
  • Check that the cabinet is level and not warped.
  • Inspect hinges for proper alignment and tightness. Adjust if necessary.
  • Ensure no items inside the cabinet are obstructing the doors.
• Lock is Sticking or Not Working:
  • Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
  • Check for any debris in the lock mechanism.
