5. Operating Instructions

Using your Ahokua Accent Cabinet is straightforward:

• Opening/Closing the Door: Gently pull the brass handle to open the door. The magnetic closure will keep the door securely shut when closed.
• Adjusting the Shelf: To adjust the height of the interior shelf, first remove any items from the shelf. Lift the shelf off its pins, then remove the pins from their current holes. Reinsert the pins into the desired pre-drilled holes at a new height, and carefully place the shelf back onto the pins. Ensure the shelf is level and securely seated before placing items on it.
• Placement: Position the cabinet on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to a wall stud for maximum safety.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your cabinet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood.
• Humidity: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent wood from warping or cracking.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Check that all leg screws and frame connections are securely tightened. Adjust leg levelers if present.
• Door Not Closing Properly: Check the alignment of the hinges. Loosen hinge screws slightly, adjust the door position, and then retighten. Ensure the magnetic closure is properly aligned and functioning.
• Shelf Not Level: Verify that the shelf pins are inserted into corresponding holes at the same height on both sides. Ensure the shelf is fully seated on the pins.
• Scratches/Minor Damage: For minor scratches, wood repair markers or touch-up pens matching the cabinet's finish can be used.

If problems persist, please contact customer support.
