Operating Instructions
Using the Storage Compartments

- Cabinet Doors: Open and close the three cabinet doors using the handles. Ensure they latch securely when closed.
- Adjustable Shelves: The interior shelves are removable and adjustable. To change shelf height, carefully lift the shelf, remove the support pegs, reposition the pegs to the desired height, and then place the shelf back on the pegs. This allows for flexible storage of items of various sizes.

Maintenance and Care

- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood.
- Under-Cabinet Cleaning: The 4.5-inch clearance from the floor allows most robot vacuums to pass underneath for easy floor cleaning.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
