5. Operating Instructions

Using the Drawers:

• To open a drawer, gently pull the handle. The full-extension ball bearing slides ensure smooth and quiet operation.
• To close a drawer, push it firmly until it is fully seated.
• Important: Due to the anti-tilt mechanism, only one drawer can be opened at a time. Attempting to open both drawers simultaneously may cause the cabinet to become unstable or prevent the drawers from opening.

Using the Lock:

• Insert one of the provided keys into the lock cylinder located on the top drawer.
• Turn the key to lock or unlock the drawers. The lock secures both drawers simultaneously.
• Remove the key after locking to ensure security. Keep spare keys in a safe place.

Adjusting Hanging Rods:

• The adjustable hanging rods allow you to customize the drawer interior for different file sizes.
• To adjust, lift the rod slightly and reposition it into the desired slots within the drawer.
• Supported file sizes include Letter, Legal, A4, and F4.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. The electrostatic phosphorus-free epoxy spray layer is designed to be stain-resistant and easy to clean.
• Drawer Slides: Periodically check the drawer slides for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied.
• Lock Mechanism: Ensure the lock mechanism operates smoothly. Do not force the key if it feels stuck.
• Hardware: Occasionally check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
