6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:

• Difficulty during Assembly: Ensure you are following the instructions step-by-step. Verify that all parts are oriented correctly. If a part seems difficult to fit, double-check the diagram. Patience is key for successful assembly.
• Drawers Not Opening Fully: Check the drawer slides for proper installation and alignment. Ensure no obstructions are preventing full extension. Some drawer slides may have a stop point; avoid forcing them past this point.
• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened. If the cabinet is on an uneven surface, use shims under the base to stabilize it. Always install the anti-tip device for added stability and safety.
• Damaged or Missing Parts: Do not attempt to force damaged parts. Contact HITHOS customer support immediately for replacements.
