Key Assembly Tips:
- Lay out all parts and identify them using the labels (A, B, C, D, etc.) before starting. If labels are missing, refer to the diagrams in the manual.
- Ensure panels are oriented correctly before tightening screws. Incorrect alignment can make subsequent steps difficult.
- While power tools can speed up assembly, use them with caution and low torque settings to avoid stripping screws or damaging the metal. The included manual screwdriver and wrench are sufficient.
- The most challenging part for some users is connecting the two side panels after attaching the back panel. It may be easier to stand the unit upright for certain screw placements.
- Install the doors as the final step of the main cabinet assembly.

7. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
- Rust Prevention: While the cabinet is moisture-proof and rust-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Promptly clean any spills.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
- Shelf Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 180 lbs per shelf to prevent bending or damage.
8. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty during Assembly: If parts do not align easily, double-check the orientation of the panels against the assembly instructions. Ensure no screws are overtightened prematurely, which can cause misalignment.
- Cabinet Instability: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If using wheels, ensure all four wheels are locked when stationary. For permanent stability, consider wall mounting using the pre-drilled holes.
- Dings or Minor Imperfections: The packaging includes foam and metal corners to protect against shipping damage. In the event of minor dings, these are typically cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity or functionality of the cabinet.
- Doors Not Closing Properly: Check that the cabinet is level and square. Ensure the magnetic door catches are clean and unobstructed. Verify the locking mechanism is properly installed and lubricated if necessary.
