Operating Instructions

Using the Drop Leaf Tabletop

2. To Fold: Push the support mechanism back underneath the main tabletop. Carefully lower the drop leaf section until it rests against the side of the island.

Using the Power Outlet

The integrated power outlet provides convenient access to electricity for small appliances.

1. Connect to Wall Outlet: Ensure the island's power cord is securely plugged into a grounded wall outlet.
2. Plug in Appliances: Insert appliance plugs into the available outlets on the island's power module.

Utilizing Storage Features

• Drawers: Use the two drawers for storing utensils, cutlery, or other small kitchen items. The soft-close slides ensure smooth operation.

• Door Shelves: The shelves on the inside of the cabinet doors are ideal for spices, condiments, or smaller bottles.
• Towel Rack: Use the integrated towel rack for kitchen towels or cloths.

Mobility and Stability

The island offers flexibility for either mobile or stationary use.

• Mobile Use (Casters): If using the casters, unlock them to move the island. Lock all four casters once the island is in its desired position to ensure stability during use.
• Stationary Use (Wooden Legs): If the wooden legs are installed, the island is designed for a fixed position. Ensure it is placed on a level surface.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish. For the rubber wood top, use a wood-safe cleaner.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage, especially on the wood surfaces.
