Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your HOOBRO BF16XY01 Laundry Sorter.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out and compare them against the parts list to ensure everything is present.
- Assemble the Metal Frame: Connect the vertical and horizontal metal frame components using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure all connections are firm but do not overtighten initially.
- Attach the Top Shelf: Place the wooden top shelf onto the designated area of the metal frame. Secure it with the appropriate screws. Ensure the guarded edges are facing upwards to prevent items from falling off.
- Install Casters: Screw the four lockable casters into the pre-drilled holes at the bottom of the metal frame. Tighten them securely.
- Insert Laundry Bags: Place the three smaller Oxford fabric bags into the upper compartments and the three larger bags into the lower compartments. The bags feature a pull-out design for easy access. Secure the bags to the frame using the integrated hook-and-loop fasteners at the top edges of the bags.

Operating Instructions
- Sorting Laundry: Utilize the six individual bags to sort laundry by color, fabric type, or washing requirements. The three smaller bags (5.5 Gal / 20.8 L each) are ideal for delicates or smaller loads, while the three larger bags (10.6 Gal / 40.3 L each) accommodate bulkier items.
- Using the Top Shelf: The sturdy wooden top shelf provides additional storage space for laundry detergents, fabric softeners, folded clothes, or decorative items. The guarded edges help prevent items from falling off.
- Moving the Sorter: Unlock the casters to easily roll the laundry sorter to your washing machine or any desired location. Once positioned, lock the casters to keep the unit stable.
- Removing Laundry Bags: The bags feature a convenient pull-out design. Simply slide a bag forward to access its contents. For washing, detach the bag from the frame by releasing the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the metal frame and wooden top shelf with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Washing Laundry Bags: The Oxford fabric bags are removable and can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry only; do not tumble dry. Ensure bags are completely dry before reattaching to the frame.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
Troubleshooting

| Laundry bags sag or fall off. | Bags overloaded; hook-and-loop fasteners not properly secured or worn. | Do not overload bags beyond their capacity. Ensure hook-and-loop fasteners are firmly attached to the frame. Replace bags if fasteners are worn. |
