Operating Instructions
Using the Drawers
The cabinet features two spacious drawers equipped with smooth full-extension ball bearing slides. This design allows the drawers to open completely, providing full access to contents, even those at the very back. To open, gently pull the handle. To close, push the drawer firmly until it is fully seated.
Lockable Wheels
The cabinet is equipped with 5 smooth-rolling casters, two of which are lockable. These wheels allow for 360° swivel, enabling easy movement of the cabinet across various floor types. To secure the cabinet in place, press down on the locking mechanism located on the two front casters. To unlock and move the cabinet, lift the locking mechanism.
Adjustable Hanging Rails
Each drawer includes built-in adjustable hanging rails to accommodate various document sizes. You can customize the rail position to fit Letter, A4, and Legal-size folders. To adjust, simply reposition the rails within the designated slots inside the drawer.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your filing cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the painted finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Drawer Slides: If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the ball bearing slides.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
