• Dusting: Regularly dust the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten if necessary.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
• Moisture Protection: Protect the cabinet from excessive moisture and humidity. Wipe up spills immediately.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

Door Alignment Issues

If the cabinet doors do not align flat or have gaps, hinge adjustments are required. Refer to the diagrams below for guidance:

Image Description: This diagram shows four common door alignment problems: 1) a gap between the doors, 2) a gap at the top corner of the doors, 3) doors overlapping, and 4) a door protruding at the bottom. These visuals help identify the specific alignment issue before proceeding with adjustments.

Image Description: This image provides a step-by-step visual guide on how to adjust cabinet door hinges using a screwdriver. It shows four distinct adjustments: 1) turning a screw to the right to move the door inward, 2) rotating screws to push the door into the cabinet and then rotating them to the right, 3) turning a screw to the left to tilt the top of the door outward, and 4) turning a screw to the left to lower the door's height, followed by turning it to the right to secure the adjustment. Each step is accompanied by an arrow indicating the direction of adjustment.

• Horizontal Adjustment (Side-to-Side): Locate the screw on the hinge that controls the door's horizontal position. Turning it right typically moves the door inward, while turning it left moves it outward. Adjust until the gap between doors is even.
• Depth Adjustment (In-and-Out): Some hinges have a screw that allows the door to be moved closer to or further from the cabinet frame. Adjust this if the door is not flush with the cabinet.
• Vertical Adjustment (Up-and-Down): There is usually a screw that allows the entire door to be raised or lowered. Adjust this to ensure the top and bottom edges of the doors align.

Wobbling Cabinet

If the cabinet wobbles, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly screws. If the floor is uneven, use shims under the legs to stabilize it.
