8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Difficulty during Assembly: The assembly process can be time-consuming and requires multiple people. Ensure all instructions are followed precisely. If instructions are unclear, refer to the detailed installation videos provided by HOTEEL. Do not force parts together.
