BASIC MAINTENANCE
Your steel laboratory cabinets with wood façade are manufactured with a chemical resistant powder
coating that is designed to withstand most of the standard chemicals used in a laboratory environment.
However, prolonged exposure may cause fading or discoloration. To assure that your new casework
keeps similar appearance for years, regularly clean all surfaces.
Clean up liquid spills immediately within the hour.
The inner and outer cabinet surfaces should be wiped regularly with glass cleaner or a solution of water
and mild dish soap. It is important to make sure that this cleaner is compatible with any other chemicals
within the laboratory. Any scratches or surface damages should immediately be touch-up to avoid
corrosion of the exposed metal.
Dry immediately the wood sections with a clean, dry cloth to avoid moisture on the wood. Maintain ideal
humidity between 40/50% throughout the year. Wood has a tendency to expand during humid seasons
and contract during dry seasons.
Drawer tracks should be clean regularly and silicon spray may be used as a lubricant. Avoid any type of
oil.
Stainless steel furniture, countertops and drawer bodies (optional) should be cleaned with stainless steel
cleaner. Wipe only in the direction of the grain to avoid scratching the surface.
BASIC SAFETY
Regular drawer and cupboard cabinets should never be used for storage of corrosive or flammable
chemicals.
Chemicals should only be stored into the appropriately designed cabinets:
All flammable products should only be stored into UL certified “Flammable” cabinets. These
cabinets are fire resistant and Fire Fighters are trained to pay particular attention to these well
designated cabinets in case of fire (normally painted in Safety Yellow with a red “Flammable”
signage on the doors).
All corrosive materials should only be stored into the appropriate designed “Corrosive” cabinets
that are supplied with a chemical resistant interior lining. These cabinets should normally be
vented out of the laboratory through a fume hood or through another exhaust system.
BASIC UTILIZATION
Please do not use excessive force when opening or closing doors and drawers as well as adjusting the
shelves. The structure was conceived for smooth handling.

The bottom floor of any cabinet should never be used as a stepladder.
Door Operation
If door does not open or close freely, pour Graphite powder between leaves of hinges.
You may also need to adjust roller catch by un-tightening the two holding screws located on door inside
panel. Place roller catch to the proper position in order to catch the indentation in post-cover once in
closed position (without having to put extreme pull to open door).
Door can be removed from cabinets by unscrewing the five (5) screws attached to the cabinet body..
Drawer Operation
No special maintenance is required other than adding silicone spray to the slide arm roller if needed.
Drawer with 75% opening / self closing tracks can easily be removed simply by tilting up and pulling out
the drawer at the end the opening.
Drawer with full extension tracks can easily be removed from cabinet by totally pulling out the drawer
and then lifting up the drawer from the tracks while gently banging down the front of the slide with any
metal tool.
Inside Cabinet Shelving
Inside cabinet shelves are each supplied with 4 support clips that fit the front and back slots into the
cabinet structure. The shelves are adjustable on a ½” increment
Removable Back Panel
All base cabinets are designed to fit one or two removable back panels upon the cabinet size. These
panels are only supplied as a standard, into all door or door/drawer combination sections, however all
cabinet bodies are designed the same to receive back panels (optional for drawer cabinets).
The back panels are supplied to enclose the cabinets while giving an access to the service space located
at the back of the cabinets.
To remove the back panel, you first need to remove all drawers and shelves into the cabinet. Back
panels are installed press-fit into the cabinets and can be easily removed by simply pulling up the panel
using a finger into the panel bottom hole.
