2. Sicherheitshinweise

Bitte lesen und verstehen Sie alle Sicherheitshinweise vor der Montage und Verwendung. Die Nichtbeachtung dieser Anweisungen kann zu Verletzungen oder Schäden am Produkt führen.

• Wandverankerung: It is highly recommended to fix the assembled cabinet to a wall to ensure stability and prevent tipping, especially in environments with potential for strong winds or accidental impacts. This is crucial for compliance with European safety standards.
• Gewichtsbeschränkungen: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity for each shelf. Adjustable shelves can hold up to 10 kg (22 lbs) each, and the fixed shelf can hold up to 15 kg (33 lbs). Overloading can cause shelves to collapse or the cabinet to become unstable.
• Materialtransport: Handle resin components with care during assembly to avoid damage.
• Platzierung: Place the cabinet on a flat, level surface. Avoid placing it in areas where it might be exposed to extreme temperatures or direct, prolonged sunlight, which could affect the resin material over time.
• Kinder und Haustiere: Keep children and pets away from the cabinet during assembly. Do not allow children to climb on or play inside the cabinet.

6. Wartung

Regelmäßige Wartung trägt dazu bei, das Aussehen und die Funktionalität Ihres Schranks zu erhalten.

• Reinigung: Clean the cabinet surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the resin material.
• Inspektion: Periodically check all connections and wall anchors to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose screws if necessary.
• Umgebungsbedingungen: While durable, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., intense direct sunlight, freezing temperatures) may affect the material over time. If possible, place the cabinet in a sheltered area.
