6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your storage cabinet:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Drainage: Ensure the area around the base is clear of debris to allow for proper water drainage and prevent accumulation.
• Rust Prevention: While made of galvanized steel, inspect for any signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating might be compromised. Address promptly with appropriate rust treatment if needed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your storage cabinet, consider the following:

• Dents or Scratches on Arrival: Inspect the packaging and product immediately upon delivery. Contact customer support with photos if significant damage is present before assembly.
• Difficulty Removing Protective Film: The film is designed to protect the finish. Peel slowly and carefully. If it tears, use a plastic scraper to gently lift edges.
• Cabinet Feels Unstable: Ensure the cabinet is on a completely level surface. Verify all assembly screws are securely tightened. For outdoor use, consider additional anchoring if in a high-wind area.
• Gaps in Assembled Product: This often indicates misalignment during assembly. Review the assembly instructions carefully and ensure panels are correctly oriented and fitted before tightening all fasteners. Loosen screws, adjust, and re-tighten.
• Unclear Assembly Instructions: If the included paper instructions are difficult to follow, search for online assembly videos or contact Aoxun customer support for clarification.
