Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, which can scratch or damage surfaces.
-
Inspect casters, hinges, sliding-door storage base, and locking mechanisms regularly to ensure safe mobility and stability.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning, especially around seams, joints, and inside storage compartments, to prevent corrosion.

Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity to maintain structural integrity and safe operation.
