Wall Anchoring: To prevent tipping, especially if children are present, secure cabinet to wall using appropriate wall anchors (not always included).
Tools: Use tools carefully to avoid injury.
Children: Keep small parts away from children during assembly.

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

Assembly Steps

Assemble in the sequence shown in the included pictorial guide.

Frame Construction: Connect side panels to top and bottom panels using cam locks and dowels. Ensure all connections are tight.
Back Panel: Place the cabinet face down on a soft surface. Align the back panel and secure it with provided screws.
Shelves: Insert shelf support pins at desired heights. Place shelves on the pins.
Doors: Attach hinges to the doors first, then mount the doors to the cabinet frame. Adjust for alignment.
Feet: Screw the plastic feet into the pre-drilled holes on the bottom panel.

Tip: Do not fully tighten all screws until the entire frame is assembled and squared.

Installation & Leveling

Once assembled, move the cabinet to its final location.

Position the cabinet against the wall.
Use a level on the top surface to check for levelness front-to-back and side-to-side.
Adjust the feet by twisting to raise or lower each corner until the cabinet is level and stable.
Wall Anchoring (CRITICAL): Locate the wall anchoring points on the back of the cabinet. Use suitable wall anchors and screws for your wall type to secure the cabinet firmly to the wall studs.

CAUTION! Never place the cabinet on an uneven or unstable floor.

Adjusting Doors & Shelves

Door Adjustment: Doors may need fine-tuning after installation.

Height: Loosen the screw on the hinge arm, adjust the door up/down, then retighten.
Depth: Turn the screw at the hinge base to move the door closer to or further from the frame.
Side-to-Side: Adjust the screw on the side of the hinge to align door edges with the frame.

Shelf Adjustment: Shelves are adjustable. Remove shelf, relocate the metal support pins to new pre-drilled holes, and replace the shelf.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your cabinet looking its best:

Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Wipe dry immediately.
Use a mild soap solution if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents.
For glass doors (if applicable), use a standard glass cleaner.
Check hinge screws and wall anchors periodically to ensure they remain tight.

CAUTION! Do not use excessive water, and never allow liquid to pool on surfaces or enter seams.
