Operating Instructions

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
- Humidity: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent wood from warping or cracking.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all hardware and connections. Re-tighten any loose screws or fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not align correctly or rub against each other/frame. | Hinges are not properly adjusted or installed. | Adjust the screws on the hinges to align the doors. Most hinges have three adjustment screws for depth, height, and side-to-side alignment. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions if specific adjustments are unclear. |
| Cabinet feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware or uneven floor. | Ensure all assembly hardware is securely tightened. If the floor is uneven, place shims under the cabinet legs to stabilize it. Consider wall anchoring for added stability. |
| Electrical appliances not working when plugged into outlet holes. | Outlet holes are for cable management only, not power. | The cabinet's outlet holes are for routing cables to a wall outlet, not for providing power. Ensure your appliance is plugged into a functional wall outlet. |
