- Step 7: Secure to Wall (Anti-Tip)
Using the provided anti-tip kit, securely fasten the buffet to a wall stud. This step is crucial for safety and prevents the furniture from tipping over.
Operating Instructions
- Door Operation: The buffet features a push-to-open mechanism. Gently press the center of the door to release the latch and open. To close, push the door until it clicks into place.
- Shelf Adjustment: The internal shelves are adjustable. To change shelf height, remove items, lift the shelf, reposition the shelf pins to the desired height, and then place the shelf back on the pins.
- Leveling: The legs are equipped with adjustable feet. If the buffet is uneven, rotate the feet clockwise or counter-clockwise to achieve a stable, level position.

- Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
- Heat and Moisture: Keep the buffet away from direct heat sources and areas of high humidity.
