5.2 Adjusting Stability

The cabinet is equipped with manual height-adjustable feet. If the cabinet feels wobbly or uneven after placement, gently lift the cabinet slightly and rotate the feet clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower until the cabinet is stable and level. Use a spirit level to confirm stability.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your vidaXL Kitchen Base Cabinet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the engineered wood finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent moisture damage to the engineered wood.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Avoid excessive weight: Do not overload the cabinet or drawer beyond the recommended weight capacity.
• Environmental conditions: Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause discoloration or warping over time. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cabinet is wobbly: Adjust the height of the individual feet until the cabinet is stable and level on the floor. Use a spirit level to verify.
• Drawer does not slide smoothly: Check if the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure no objects are obstructing the slides. Lubricate slides with a silicone-based spray if needed.
• Door does not close properly or is misaligned: Adjust the hinges. Most cabinet hinges allow for minor adjustments in three directions (up/down, left/right, in/out) using a screwdriver. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if specific adjustments are unclear.
• Missing parts or damaged components: Do not attempt to force assembly. Contact vidaXL customer support or your retailer for replacement parts.
