Operating and Usage
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your chest of drawers:
- Drawer Operation: Open and close drawers gently. Avoid forcing them.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly within drawers and on the top surface. Avoid placing heavy items on the edges of drawers or the top panel.
- Maximum Loads: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacities: 5 kg per drawer, 30 kg for the top panel, and 60 kg total for the unit.
- Stability: Ensure the chest remains on a level surface. If moved, re-check for stability and re-secure to the wall if necessary.
Maintenance
Regular care will help maintain the appearance and function of your chest of drawers:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for wood or furniture. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes containing silicone, as these can damage the finish.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Environment: Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause fading, warping, or cracking. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.
