7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame and particleboard surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any water spills to prevent damage to the wood surfaces and to ensure electrical safety around the power outlet.
• Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the stand's stability.
• Leveling Feet: Ensure the adjustable leveling feet are properly set to keep the stand level and prevent wobbling.

8. Troubleshooting

Stand Wobbles/Unstable:

• Check Leveling Feet: Adjust the individual leveling feet at the bottom of each leg until the stand is stable on your floor.
• Tighten Screws: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Loose connections can cause instability.
• Even Weight Distribution: Verify that the weight of your aquarium and accessories is evenly distributed on the stand.

Power Outlet Not Working:

• Check Wall Outlet: Ensure the stand's power cord is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Test the wall outlet with another device.
• Reset Breaker: If the power outlet has a reset button (often on the side or back), press it. Check your home's circuit breaker if necessary.
• Inspect Connections: Verify that the power outlet unit is correctly installed and its internal connections are secure.
• Overload: Avoid overloading the power strip with too many high-wattage devices.
