6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Door Operation

The crate features a 3-sided door design for convenient access:

• Front Door: The main center door provides primary access.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your dog crate furniture.

• General Cleaning: Wipe down the MDF board surfaces and steel frames with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
• Bowl Cleaning: The stainless steel bowls are removable and can be washed with soap and water or placed in a dishwasher. Ensure they are dry before returning them to the holder.
• Inspection: Periodically check all hardware for tightness. Re-tighten any loose screws or bolts to maintain structural integrity.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish of the wood and metal components.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your YITAHOME Double Dog Crate Furniture, refer to the following common solutions:

• Loose Connections: If the crate feels wobbly, check all assembly points and tighten any loose screws or bolts.
• Doors Not Latching Securely: Ensure the door frames are properly aligned with the main structure. Adjust hinges if necessary. If the latch mechanism itself is faulty, contact customer support for replacement parts.
• Gap Between Crate Sections (when partition removed): When the partition is removed to create one large space, a small gap may exist on the floor between the two crate sections. For pets with small paws, consider placing a mat or a thin, sturdy board over this area to prevent paws from getting caught.
• Bowls Too Small: The included bowls are suitable for many pets. If larger bowls are required, the rotating mechanism can be removed, and external elevated bowl stands can be used.
