Operating Instructions
Adjustable Shelves:
The cabinet features two fully adjustable shelves. To adjust a shelf, carefully remove all items from the shelf. Lift the shelf slightly and pull out the four shelf pins. Reinsert the pins into the desired holes at the new height, ensuring they are level and fully seated. Then, place the shelf back onto the pins.

Drawers:
The three bottom drawers are equipped with soft-close slides for smooth and quiet operation. To open, gently pull the drawer handle. To close, push the drawer until the soft-close mechanism engages, allowing it to close silently.
Drop-Down Surface:
The middle section features a drop-down surface, ideal for temporary counter space or organizing small items. To open, gently pull the top edge of the surface downwards. The soft-open gas springs will assist in a controlled descent. To close, lift the surface back into its upright position until it latches securely.

Power Outlet and USB Ports:
The integrated power strip includes 3 AC outlets and 2 USB charging ports, along with a safety switch. Plug the cabinet's power cord into a standard wall outlet. Use the AC outlets for small appliances (e.g., coffee maker, toaster) and the USB ports for charging mobile devices. Always ensure the safety switch is in the 'ON' position for power delivery.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. For glass doors, use a standard glass cleaner.
- Dusting: Regularly dust all surfaces to prevent buildup.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage to the MDF material.
Troubleshooting
- Drawers not closing smoothly: Check if the drawer slides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure all screws on the slides are tight.
- Doors not aligning: Adjust the hinges on the glass doors. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align the doors properly.
- Power outlet not working: Ensure the cabinet's power cord is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet. Check the safety switch on the power strip to ensure it is in the 'ON' position. If the issue persists, try plugging another device into the wall outlet to confirm the outlet is working.
- Cabinet wobbles: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Adjust any leveling feet if present, or place shims under the base if needed. Confirm all assembly hardware is tightened. Ensure anti-tipping devices are securely installed.
