Usage Features:

Assembly: Adult assembly is required due to the presence of small parts, sharp points, and sharp edges. It is strongly recommended that at least two adults assemble the unit for safety and ease. The assembly process involves interlocking components, with a rubber mallet recommended for secure fitting.
Loading Guidelines:
- Load small, stable items on the top shelves.
- Store heavier and bulkier items on the lower shelves.
- Always load the unit from the bottom shelves upwards to ensure overall stability.
Stability and Safety:
- The product is not recommended for outdoor use.
- Do not alter the product in any way, as this could compromise performance and void warranties.
- Tipping Restraint: A tipping restraint hardware kit (Part E) is included. This hardware is designed for wooden stud wall construction and must be attached to a wall stud to prevent the unit from tipping. Different anchor hardware may be required depending on wall construction; users should contact their local hardware store for assistance if needed. The tipping restraints are a deterrent and not a substitute for proper adult supervision or earthquake restraints. Separate earthquake restraints must be purchased and installed if desired.
Modularity: If more than one unit is purchased, additional assembly options are available, suggesting the possibility of connecting or configuring multiple racks together for expanded storage.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:
- Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
- Avoid using solvents of any kind on the product, as they may damage the finish.
- Do not use any harsh abrasives or chemicals to clean metal surfaces, as this may damage the protective coating.
- The NSF certification implies the unit is designed for easy cleaning, which is crucial in commercial foodservice environments.
Corrosion Prevention:
- Metal components may rust if the finish is scratched or if the product is exposed to excessive humidity, particularly in saltwater locations. Users should be mindful of the environment where the rack is placed and take precautions to prevent scratches to the finish.
Warranty: The product comes with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty is void if the product is assembled incorrectly, misused, abused by overloading, altered, or damaged due to accident. It does not cover chipping, flaking, scratches, rust, dents, or other surface damages. The manufacturer's responsibility is limited to repair or replacement of the product.
