Operating Instructions (Usage)

The DWVO Shoe Storage Cabinet is designed for efficient organization of footwear and small items.

Flip Drawers:

The cabinet features two flip-down drawers, each designed to hold multiple pairs of shoes. The internal compartments are adjustable or removable to accommodate various shoe sizes and types.

• Adjusting Compartments: To adjust the internal dividers, gently lift and reposition them into the desired slots.
• Removing Compartments: For larger footwear like boots, the internal dividers can be fully removed to create a single, larger storage space within the drawer.
• Capacity: Each drawer can hold approximately 8 pairs of standard-sized shoes, totaling up to 16 pairs for the cabinet. Larger shoe sizes (e.g., men's size 13) may require shoes to be inserted at an angle or dividers to be removed.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your shoe cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly clean up any spills to prevent staining or moisture damage to the engineered wood.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not place excessively heavy items on the shelves or bench to prevent structural damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DWVO Shoe Storage Cabinet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Problem: Flip drawers do not close properly.
  Solution: Ensure shoes are not obstructing the closing mechanism. For larger shoe sizes, adjust or remove internal dividers. Verify that the drawer hinges are correctly installed and not bent.
• Problem: Cabinet feels wobbly or unstable.
  Solution: Confirm that all assembly screws are fully tightened. Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Most importantly, verify that the anti-tipping device is securely installed to a wall stud or appropriate anchor.
• Problem: Missing or damaged parts during assembly.
  Solution: Stop assembly immediately. Refer to the package contents list and contact customer support with the specific part number(s) for assistance.
• Problem: Difficulty aligning panels during assembly.
  Solution: Double-check the instruction manual diagrams. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. Sometimes, loosening adjacent screws slightly can help with alignment before re-tightening.
