5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your YAMAZAKI Home Tower Under-Sink Rack, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the rack regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.

• Drawer Functionality: Periodically check the sliding mechanisms for any debris or obstructions that might hinder smooth operation. Keep the runners clean and dry.

  • Check if the rack is placed on a stable, flat surface.
