Setup and Assembly
This Oviala buffet requires assembly. Please follow these general guidelines for a smooth setup process. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., the packaging cardboard) to prevent scratches. Verify all components and hardware against the included parts list.
- Identify Parts: Familiarize yourself with the different panels, legs, and hardware. Each part may be labeled with a sticker or number.
- Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the buffet. Attach side panels to the bottom and top panels using the provided fasteners (dowels, screws, cam locks). Ensure all connections are secure.
- Install Shelves: Insert the internal shelves into their designated positions. Ensure they are level and securely seated on the shelf pins or supports.
- Attach Legs: Securely attach the four legs to the bottom of the buffet using the provided screws. Ensure they are tightened firmly to provide stability.
- Install Sliding Doors: Carefully place the sliding doors into their tracks. Ensure they glide smoothly. Attach the oak handles to the doors.
- Final Inspection: Once assembled, gently move the buffet to its desired location. Check all connections for tightness and ensure the buffet is stable and level. Adjust leg levelers if necessary.

Operating Instructions
The Oviala buffet is designed for straightforward use and efficient storage.
- Sliding Doors: The buffet features two sliding doors. To open or close, gently grasp the solid oak handles and slide the doors along their tracks. Ensure no objects obstruct the door's path. The sliding mechanism allows for flexible access to the internal compartments.
- Internal Storage: The buffet provides ample storage space with internal shelves. These shelves are ideal for organizing dinnerware, books, decorative items, or other household essentials. Distribute weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability.
- Weight Capacity: Avoid placing excessively heavy items on the top surface or shelves. Refer to the specifications section for general weight guidelines. Overloading can compromise the structural integrity of the buffet.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and beauty of your Oviala buffet.
- Cleaning the Surface: For the MDF top with melamine finish, wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for furniture surfaces. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Caring for Wood Components: The solid oak frame and handles, as well as other wood parts, can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the wood and melamine surfaces.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid placing the buffet in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause fading or discoloration of the wood.
- Heat and Moisture: Protect the surface from hot items by using coasters or placemats. Avoid placing the buffet in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.

Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your buffet.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Buffet feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners or uneven floor. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the buffet is on a level surface; use shims or adjust leg levelers if available. |
| Sliding doors are stiff or not moving smoothly. | Obstruction in the track, dirt, or misaligned doors. | Inspect the tracks for any debris and clean them. Ensure the doors are correctly seated in their tracks. If misaligned, gently lift and reseat them. |
| Minor scratches or dents on wood surfaces. | Accidental impact or abrasion. | For minor scratches, use a wood repair marker or furniture polish that matches the wood tone. For deeper dents, professional repair may be needed. |
| Discoloration or fading of wood. | Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. | Relocate the buffet away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds to filter light. |
