  1. אָפּלייגן קאַמפּאָונאַנץ: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify all components are present: 1 wire shelf, 2 support brackets, and rubber inserts.
  2. צוטשעפּען שטיצע קלאַמערן: Secure the two support brackets to the underside of the wire shelf. Ensure they are firmly attached.
  3. Apply Rubber Inserts: Slide the provided rubber inserts onto the ends of the support brackets. These prevent scratching your appliance. For added security, a small amount of adhesive can be used to keep the rubber inserts in place.
  4. Position the Shelf: Gently slide your washer or dryer away from the wall to create the necessary 10-inch clearance.
  5. Hook onto Appliance: Place the shelf over the top of your appliance. The upper hooks of the support brackets should rest securely over the top edge of your appliance's rear display panel or ledge.
  6. Adjust and Brace: The lower ends of the support brackets are designed to be bent for a custom fit. Carefully bend these arms so they brace firmly against the back panel of your appliance. When bending, hold the metal strip at both ends to distribute force evenly and prevent stress on the attachment points. This ensures a tight and stable fit.
  7. באַשטעטיקן סטאַביליטי: Once installed, gently test the shelf's stability before placing items on it. Ensure it does not wobble.

To keep your Household Essentials Over-The-Washer Storage Shelf in optimal condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Periodically check the stability of the shelf and the tightness of the support brackets against your appliance.

טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

If you encounter issues with your storage shelf, refer to the following common solutions:

  • Shelf is unstable or wobbles:
    • Ensure the support brackets are bent sufficiently to brace tightly against the back panel of your appliance.
    • Verify that the appliance has a suitable rear display panel or ledge for the hooks to rest on.
    • Confirm that there is at least 10 inches of clearance behind the appliance for the brackets to extend fully.
    • Check that the rubber inserts are securely in place on the bracket ends to prevent slipping.
  • Shelf does not fit my appliance:
    • This shelf is designed for most front-load washers and dryers with average-height rear ledges and control panels. Low-profile or angled control panels may not provide a secure fit.
    • Measure your appliance's width and the available space behind it to ensure it meets the 26.5-inch width and 10-inch rear clearance requirements.
  • Shelf appears to bend under weight:
    • Ensure the total weight of items on the shelf does not exceed 25 lbs (11.3 kg).
    • Distribute items evenly across the shelf.
    • Re-check the bracing of the support brackets. If the metal plates of the brackets seem too thin or are twisting, ensure they are bent to provide maximum support against the appliance's back panel.
