Maintenance Features
- Door Adjustment: The "Door Adjustment Instructions" section is a key maintenance feature. It guides users on how to correct door alignment issues that may arise due to shipping or regular use. This includes:
- Crooked Door Adjustment: Adjusting hinges up or down to level the door.

- The instructions emphasize starting with the top hinge for crooked doors and using a screwdriver (implied) for adjustments.
- Anti-Tip Restraint: The mandatory anti-tip installation is a crucial safety and maintenance feature. It prevents the furniture from tipping over, especially if heavy objects are placed on top or if children attempt to climb on it. This restraint system involves securing the unit to the wall using brackets, plugs, screws, and straps. The manual warns against placing heavy objects on top unless specifically designed for it and advises against allowing children to climb on the unit. It also notes that the provided hardware for wall attachment is designed for drywall and recommends consulting a local hardware store for other wall types.
- General Care (Implied): While not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, general furniture maintenance would typically involve regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, and protecting surfaces from spills and scratches. The instruction to "place all parts on a soft, clean, and flat surface such as a carpet to prevent scratches" during assembly also implies a need for careful handling to maintain the product's appearance.
