Possible Causes

Bent shelf rails, Warped wooden or metal shelves, Incorrect shelf placement, Cabinet not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove bottles before adjusting shelves to prevent breakage.

Steps to correct shelf issues:

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the unit is square and stable.
  • Inspect rails and shelves: Check for bent metal rails or warped shelves. Straighten minor bends carefully; replace severely damaged parts.
  • Correct placement: Ensure shelves are installed in the correct orientation and slots as per the user manual.
  • Lubrication: If allowed by SMEG, apply a small amount of food-safe lubricant to metal sliding rails to improve movement.

Tip: Do not overload shelves beyond their rated capacity to avoid bending.
