Ensure the support arms are fully extended and locked into place for stability. To retract, push the support arms back in and lower the drop leaf until it rests securely against the main tabletop.

Always lock the casters when the island is in use to prevent accidental movement.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish. For the solid wood tabletop, use a wood-safe cleaner.
• Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining, especially on the wood surface.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Casters: Keep casters free of debris to ensure smooth rolling. Lubricate if necessary.
• Wood Care: The rubber wood tabletop is heat-resistant and scratch-proof, but using cutting boards and trivets is recommended for prolonged durability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Island: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the island is on a level surface. Adjust leg levelers if applicable (not specified for this model, but a general tip).
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Check for debris (hair, lint) wrapped around the caster wheels. Clean as needed. Ensure casters are not locked.
• Drawer Sticks: Ensure the drawer slides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Check that all screws securing the slides are tight.
• Drop Leaf Not Stable: Verify that the support arms are fully extended and locked into their designated positions. Avoid placing excessive weight on the extended leaf.
