build and attach

your cabinet.

If your wall is concrete, brick or another surface ask your

hardware specialist for advice on the right ﬁxing method.

• Make sure you leave plumbing and electrical work

to qualiﬁed trades people. Never try this yourself.

• For extra strength use exterior woodworking glue

when assembling cabinets.

and glasses when using tools.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Cabinets should be cleaned with an all-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner and a damp sponge or cloth.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use saturated cloth, harsh chemicals, or thinner-based cleaners, as these can damage the melamine surface.
Avoid Abrasive Tools: Do not use products that will scratch the surface, such as steel wool or wire brushes. Avoid sharp objects that could scratch, cut, or gouge the melamine surface.
Water Resistance: Kaboodle cabinets are water-resistant but not waterproof. Spills should be attended to immediately to prevent swelling of the internal board if the melamine surface is compromised.
Damage Repair (Melamine): If the melamine surface is damaged, a furniture repair crayon can be used to cover it, but it's noted that this will not seal the board back to its original finish.
