Operating Instructions
Using the Drawers:
- Opening Drawers: Gently pull the handle to open a drawer. The three-section slides allow for full and smooth extension.
- Closing Drawers: Push the drawer firmly until it is fully closed and flush with the cabinet frame.
- Safety Interlock: Due to the anti-tipping interlock system, only one drawer can be opened at a time. Attempting to open both simultaneously may cause the drawers to stick or the cabinet to become unstable.
Organizing Files:
- The drawers are equipped with hanging rods to accommodate letter-size file folders.
- To use for general storage, simply remove the hanging rods.
- Distribute weight evenly within the drawers to maintain cabinet stability.
