Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Shintenchi Buffet Cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or water damage to the wood material.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
• Heat and Moisture: Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and areas of high humidity to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.

Troubleshooting

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

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Adjust leg levelers if applicable (this model has a high wooden base, so ensure the floor is even).
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure no debris is obstructing the tracks. Lubricate slides with a silicone-based lubricant if needed.
• Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the hinges on the inside of the cabinet doors. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align the doors vertically, horizontally, and in depth.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing components during assembly, do not attempt to force parts or substitute with incorrect hardware. Contact Shintenchi customer support immediately for replacement parts.
