6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the carbon steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry immediately to prevent water spots. For the rock board tabletop, use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stone surfaces.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish of the cabinet and tabletop.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
• Door and Drawer Alignment: If doors or drawers become misaligned, adjust the hinges or drawer slides as necessary.
• Wheel Care: Keep the universal wheels clean and free of debris to ensure smooth movement. Lubricate if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cabinet is Unstable/Wobbly:
  Solution: Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Check that all assembly screws are fully tightened. If using foot pads, adjust them to compensate for uneven floors. If using wheels, ensure they are locked when stationary.
• Doors Do Not Close Properly:
  Solution: Check hinge alignment. Loosen hinge screws slightly, adjust the door position, and re-tighten. Ensure no items inside the cabinet are obstructing the door closure.
• Drawers Stick or Are Difficult to Open/Close:
  Solution: Verify that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure no objects are blocking the drawer's path. Check if the drawer is overloaded.
• Scratches on Tabletop:
  Solution: While the rock board is wear-resistant, minor scratches can occur. Use appropriate stone polish or consult a professional for deeper scratches. Always use cutting boards and protective mats.
