5. Setup and Placement
5.1 Location Selection
Choose a stable, level surface for the cabinet. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit, especially for the mini fridge compartment, to allow for proper ventilation. Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
5.2 Mini Fridge Installation
The dedicated fridge area (22.04" L x 22.04" W x 37.79" H) is designed to accommodate most standard mini fridges or wine coolers. Carefully slide your appliance into the designated space. Ensure there is sufficient space at the back and top for air circulation to prevent overheating.
5.3 Power Connection

The cabinet offers various storage options:
- Open Shelves: Use the three open shelves on the right side for frequently accessed items such as coffee mugs, barware, spice jars, or snacks.
- Upper Double-Door Cabinets: These provide enclosed storage for items like appliance accessories, tissues, or coffee beans, keeping them out of sight and organized.
- Single-Door Storage Cabinet: Located above the fridge compartment, this offers additional private storage space.
6.2 Power Outlet Usage
The integrated power panel allows you to plug in up to four small appliances. Use the red switch on the panel to turn the power to these outlets ON or OFF. Always ensure appliances are turned off before plugging or unplugging them.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
The cabinet's surface is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
7.2 General Care
- Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Ensure the anti-tip kit remains securely fastened to the wall.
- Avoid placing excessively hot items directly on the cabinet surface without protection.
8. Troubleshooting

- Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Adjust any leveling feet if present.
- Check all assembly screws and tighten any loose ones.
