5. Operating Instructions

Your Merax Corner Storage Cabinet is designed for versatile storage. To use:

• Adjusting Shelves: The cabinet features two adjustable shelves. To change their height, remove all items from the shelf, lift the shelf, remove the four shelf pins, reinsert the pins into the desired holes, and then place the shelf back onto the pins.
• Storage: Utilize the interior shelves to store various items such as toiletries, towels, books, or kitchen supplies. Ensure items are placed securely and do not obstruct the door's closing mechanism.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your cabinet:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent water damage, especially since the panels are waterproof for easy maintenance.
• Inspection: Periodically check all hardware connections and tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Placement: Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all screws and cam locks are fully tightened. Check that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Adjust feet if applicable (this model has fixed legs).
• Door Not Closing Properly: Check hinge alignment. Loosen hinge screws slightly, adjust the door, and re-tighten. Ensure no items inside are obstructing the door.
• Scratches/Minor Damage: For minor scratches, a furniture repair marker or touch-up paint matching the cabinet's black finish may be used.
