Operating Instructions

Adjustable Shelves

Your Homleke BF70H Buffet Cabinet features two spacious compartments with a middle shelf that offers three-level height adjustment. To adjust the shelf height:

1. Empty the contents from the shelf you wish to adjust.
2. Carefully lift the shelf to remove it from the shelf pins.
3. Relocate the shelf pins to the desired set of holes on the cabinet sides. Ensure pins are level.
4. Place the shelf back onto the pins, ensuring it is stable and secure.

You can also remove the shelf entirely to accommodate taller items, maximizing the storage space.

Door Operation

The cabinet doors are equipped with noiseless hinges for smooth opening and closing. To open, gently pull the handle. To close, push the door until it is flush with the cabinet frame.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots.

General Care

• Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Avoid placing excessively hot or cold items directly on the cabinet surface. Use coasters or protective pads.
• Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent warping or fading.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Parts: If you find any parts missing upon unboxing, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Homleke customer service immediately with your product model number and a description of the missing parts.
• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If the floor is uneven, use furniture pads or shims under the legs to stabilize.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check the hinge alignment. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments using a screwdriver to ensure the doors close flush and evenly. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if specific adjustment details are needed.
• Scratches or Dents: For minor surface imperfections, touch-up pens or furniture repair kits matching the cabinet's finish may be used.
