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.
