5. Operating Instructions

Your HOMCOM pantry cabinet is designed for versatile storage. Utilize its features to organize your items efficiently.

• Adjustable Shelves: The internal shelves can be adjusted to three different height settings, allowing you to customize the storage space for items of various sizes, from small jars to larger appliances or dishes. To adjust, remove items, lift the shelf, reposition the shelf pins, and then place the shelf back.

• Enclosed Storage: The two main cabinets offer enclosed storage to keep your kitchen or dining area tidy and organized.
