Operating Instructions

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

- Protection: Use coasters or placemats under hot or wet items placed on the tabletop to protect the surface.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Door Gaps or Non-Alignment: If the cabinet doors appear uneven or have large gaps, adjustments can be made to the hinges. Refer to the troubleshooting video for detailed instructions on how to adjust the hinges for proper alignment.
