Safety Information

Read all instructions before assembly and use.

  1. Lifting: Cabinet is heavy; use two people to lift and position to avoid injury.
  2. Stability: If not wall-mounted, ensure cabinet is placed on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping.
  3. Wall mounting: For safety, especially in households with children, secure cabinet to wall using provided brackets and suitable wall anchors.
  4. Tools: Use tools carefully; keep away from children during assembly.

WARNING! Failure to properly secure the cabinet to the wall can result in serious injury or death from tipping.

Assembly Instructions

Follow steps in order. Do not fully tighten screws until all parts are aligned.

  1. Prepare workspace: Lay out all parts on a clean, soft surface to avoid scratches.
  2. Attach back panel: Insert back panel into grooves on rear of cabinet frame. Secure with provided small nails or screws.
  3. Assemble frame: Connect side panels to top and bottom panels using cam locks. Tighten with a screwdriver.
  4. Install shelves: Place shelf pins at desired heights. Rest adjustable shelves on the pins.
  5. Attach door: Align hinge plates on door with corresponding holes on cabinet frame. Insert and tighten hinge screws.
  6. Install handle: Attach door handle to door panel using screws from the front side.
  7. Final check: Ensure all screws are tight. Open and close door to check alignment. Adjust hinges if necessary.

Tip: If door is misaligned, use a screwdriver to adjust the hinge screws in/out or side-to-side.

Installation & Mounting

For freestanding or wall-mounted use.

  1. Freestanding: Place assembled cabinet on a level floor. Use a level to check.
  2. Wall-mounted (recommended):
    • Locate wall studs using a stud finder.
    • Hold mounting bracket against wall at desired height and mark screw holes.
    • Drill pilot holes into studs.
    • Attach brackets to wall securely with provided screws.
    • Lift cabinet and hook onto wall brackets. Ensure it is firmly engaged.

CAUTION! Use appropriate wall anchors if not attaching to studs. The cabinet must support its own weight plus contents.

Specifications

Adjustments & Configuration

Customize your cabinet for optimal use.

Shelf Height: Shelves are adjustable. Remove shelf, reposition shelf pins at different pre-drilled heights, and replace shelf.

Door Alignment: If door sags or doesn't close evenly:

  1. Open door fully.
  2. Locate adjustment screws on the hinge (usually two: one for height, one for side-to-side).
  3. Turn screws slightly with a screwdriver, test door, and repeat until aligned.

Soft-Close Feature (if applicable): Some hinges have a soft-close mechanism. Do not force the door shut; let the hinge do the work.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures long-lasting appearance and function.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if needed. Dry immediately.
  2. Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, solvents, or excessive water.
  3. Protection: Avoid placing in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent fading/warping.
  4. Hardware Check: Periodically check and tighten screws, especially on hinges and handles.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners or harsh chemicals on the surfaces.
