5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HAFELE Magic Corner system, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the chrome-plated steel surfaces and baskets regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically check the moving parts and slides. If movement becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the runners. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and grime.
• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 40 kg. Overloading can stress the mechanism and lead to damage.
• Fastener Check: Occasionally check all mounting screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Magic Corner system, consider the following common solutions:

• System is Stiff or Difficult to Pull Out/Push In:
  • Check for obstructions within the cabinet or along the runners.
  • Ensure the system is not overloaded. Remove some items and test again.
  • Apply lubricant to the runners as described in the Maintenance section.
• Soft-Close Mechanism Not Working:
  • Verify that the system is fully engaged when closing. Sometimes a gentle push is needed to activate the soft-close.
  • Inspect the soft-close damper for any visible damage or debris.
• Baskets are Uneven or Wobbling:
  • Check that all mounting screws are securely tightened.
  • Ensure the weight is evenly distributed across the baskets.
  • Verify that the cabinet itself is level and stable.
