5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Using the Adjustable Shelf

The armoire includes one adjustable shelf. To change its height, remove any items from the shelf, then carefully lift the shelf and reposition the shelf pins (S) into the desired slots along the side panels. Lower the shelf onto the pins, ensuring it is level and secure.

5.2. Utilizing the Hanging Rod

The clothes hanging rod (CC) is designed to hold various garments such as dresses, suits, and pants. Ensure clothes are evenly distributed to prevent excessive weight on one side.

5.3. Operating the Drawers

The two drawers are equipped with smooth metal slide rails for easy opening and closing. They are suitable for storing smaller items or personal belongings. Avoid forcing the drawers if they feel stiff; ensure nothing is obstructing the rails.

5.4. Magnetic Doors

Each door features two strong magnets to ensure a tight closure, keeping your belongings secure and dust-free.
