Usage Features

Two-Person Assembly: The manufacturer recommends assembling this cabinet with two people to prevent damage or breakage.
Adjustable Shelves: The cabinet includes three shelves that can be positioned using shelf clips, allowing for flexible storage configurations.
Door Swing Direction: Before installing hinges, the user must determine the desired direction of the door swing. Hinge plates should not be fully tightened initially to allow for easier door installation.
Wall Mounting: The cabinet must be securely attached to a wall for safety and warranty eligibility. This requires locating wall studs and using #10x3" screws (not included). If studs are not available or the wall is stud-less, the user is responsible for choosing appropriate hardware.
Adjacent Cabinet Installation: For multiple cabinet installations, the cabinet should first be secured to the wall, then to adjacent cabinets. This involves clamping cabinets together, drilling pilot holes, and using #10 x 1" screws to join them.
Hinge Adjustment: The hinges are adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning of the door's alignment and closure. Diagrams illustrate how to adjust the hinges for horizontal, vertical, and depth alignment.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, the materials used (laminated and solid surface materials) suggest standard cabinet cleaning practices. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Hardware Tightening: Periodically check and tighten all screws and cam locks to ensure the cabinet remains stable and secure.
Door Alignment: If the door becomes misaligned over time, the hinge adjustment feature allows for re-alignment.

The warranty specifically covers laminated and solid surface materials, hinges, drawer guides, and other parts.
