5. Operating Instructions
This cabinet offers various storage options. Utilize them according to your needs.
5.1. Adjustable Shelves
The shelves in the lower cabinet and upper hutch are adjustable. To change a shelf's height, remove all items from the shelf, lift the shelf, remove the shelf pins from their current holes, reposition them to the desired height, and then place the shelf back onto the pins. Ensure all four pins are securely in place before loading the shelf.

The spacious countertop is suitable for placing small appliances such as a microwave, coffee maker, or toaster. Utilize the cable holes on the back panel to route power cords, keeping the area tidy and organized. Ensure appliances have adequate ventilation as per their own instruction manuals.
