This document is an owner's manual for an Oceanstar laundry hamper, model TRH1330. It provides assembly instructions, care facts, and contact information for support.

Function Description:

The Oceanstar laundry hamper is designed for storing laundry. It features a wooden construction with a slatted design and a hinged lid. The hamper is intended to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution for organizing dirty clothes.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual does not explicitly list technical specifications such as dimensions, weight capacity, or material type (beyond "wood"). However, the assembly diagrams show a rectangular hamper with vertical slats on all four sides and a solid bottom panel. The lid is also slatted and is attached with hinges, allowing it to open and close. The internal structure includes a fabric liner (G) for holding laundry.

Usage Features:

Assembly: The hamper requires assembly using an L-tool for screws and cam inserts. The assembly process involves attaching the side panels (A, B, C, D) to the bottom panel (F), securing them with cam locks (b) and cam dowels (a), and then attaching the lid (E) using hinges and screws (d).
Lid Mechanism: The lid (E) is hinged, providing easy access to the hamper's interior. A key caution is provided: "DO NOT apply pressure to the hinges by opening the lid past its normal stopping point which is at 90-120 degrees." This indicates that the lid has a specific range of motion designed to prevent damage to the hinges.
Liner: The hamper includes a fabric liner (G) that fits inside the wooden frame. This liner is likely removable, making it easy to transport laundry or clean the liner itself. The assembly diagram shows the liner being placed into the assembled wooden frame.
Design: The slatted wooden design suggests good ventilation, which can be beneficial for laundry storage by preventing mildew or odors. The overall aesthetic is likely intended to blend with various home decors.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides extensive "FURNITURE CARE FACTS" and "CARE & MAINTENANCE" guidelines, primarily focused on the wooden components of the hamper.

Wood Care:
- Humidity Control: Wood is porous and sensitive to environmental humidity. The ideal environment for fine furniture is a temperature between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity between 35 and 40 percent. Extreme variations in humidity (too high or too low) can cause wood to absorb moisture and expand, or lose moisture and shrink, potentially leading to small cracks.
- Placement: Avoid placing the hamper near air-conditioning outlets, fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, humidifiers, or dehumidifiers, as these can cause extreme temperature and humidity variations.
- Sunlight: Keep the furniture out of direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays can fade colors, darken some woods, and cause "crazing" or hairline cracks in the finish. White finishes may yellow naturally over time, a process hastened by direct sunlight.
Cleaning:
- Use a non-toxic and non-abrasive cleaner.
- Apply the cleaner with a soft, dampened cloth.
- Dry completely with a soft, dry cloth after cleaning.
Handling:
- Always lift the unit when moving it; do not push or drag to avoid damaging the legs.
- Protect the surface from hot or extremely cold items.
- Clean up spills or foreign substances immediately to prevent permanent staining.
Storage:
- If storing the furniture, avoid damp basements or hot, dry attics.
- Ensure air movement around the furniture and do not stack anything on it.
