4.5. Step 5: Secure with Anti-Tipping Device
For enhanced safety, it is crucial to install the anti-tipping device. Secure the device to the top rear of the cabinet and then to a sturdy wall stud. This prevents the cabinet from accidentally falling forward.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Adjusting Shelves
To adjust a shelf, first remove all items from it. Lift the shelf slightly, remove the four shelf clips from their slots, and reinsert them into the desired new slots. Carefully place the shelf back onto the clips, ensuring it is level and secure before placing items back.
5.2. Opening and Closing Doors
The cabinet doors are equipped with magnetic latches for secure closure. To open, gently pull the handle. To close, push the door until the magnets engage, ensuring a tight seal.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Care and Cleaning
The cabinet's textured electrostatic powder coating is designed to be scratch-resistant and easy to clean. To maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these may damage the finish.
- Promptly clean up any spills to prevent staining or corrosion.
6.2. Regular Inspection
Periodically check all fasteners, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the cabinet's stability and structural integrity.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Cabinet is Unstable or Wobbly
- Ensure the adjustable leveling feet are properly adjusted on all four corners to compensate for uneven flooring.
- Verify that the anti-tipping device is securely installed to a wall stud.
- Check all assembly screws and fasteners to ensure they are tightened.
7.2. Doors Do Not Close Properly
- Check for any obstructions (e.g., items on shelves) preventing the doors from closing fully.
- Inspect the magnetic latches on the doors and cabinet frame for proper alignment and function.
- Ensure the cabinet itself is level, as an unlevel cabinet can affect door alignment.
7.3. Shelves Appear to be Sagging
- Ensure the weight on the shelf does not exceed the 150 LBS capacity. Redistribute items if necessary.
- Verify that the shelf clips are fully and correctly inserted into the support slots on all four corners of the shelf.
