• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across all shelves. Avoid placing all heavy items on a single shelf or in one section of the bookshelf. Adhere to the 25 kg per compartment weight limit.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your FirFurd Bookshelf.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up any spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage or staining.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fittings to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Environmental Factors: Keep the bookshelf away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and high humidity, as these can cause warping, fading, or cracking of the wood.
• Moving: When moving the bookshelf, always empty it first. If possible, disassemble it to prevent damage during transport. Avoid dragging the unit, as this can weaken joints.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FirFurd Bookshelf, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

Instability or Wobbling:

• Anti-Tip Device: Ensure the anti-tip supports are correctly installed and securely fastened to a wall stud or appropriate wall anchor.
• Level Surface: Verify that the bookshelf is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Use shims if necessary to stabilize.
• Tighten Hardware: Check all assembly screws and bolts. Re-tighten any loose connections.

Doors Not Closing Properly or Misaligned:

• Hinge Adjustment: Most hinges allow for minor adjustments. Refer to the assembly manual for specific instructions on how to adjust the hinges to align the doors.
• Obstructions: Ensure no items inside the cabinet are obstructing the door's closing path.
• Squareness: Verify that the main cabinet frame is square. If the frame is twisted, it can affect door alignment.
