6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOCSOK Kitchen Buffet Cabinet.

• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent moisture damage, especially on the worktop.
• Heat Protection: While the worktop is heat-resistant, it is advisable to use trivets or hot pads under very hot items to prevent potential damage.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Check that all assembly screws are securely tightened. Adjust the leveling feet if present, or place shims under the base if needed.
• Doors Not Aligning: The soft-close hinges offer 3D adjustment. Refer to the assembly manual for specific instructions on how to adjust the hinges to achieve proper door alignment.
• Drawers Sticking: Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and free of obstructions. Ensure all screws on the slides are tight.
