Tips & safety

  • Always fix JONAXEL to the wall. Tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Use screws and plugs suited to your wall — ask a specialist if unsure.
  • Stacking a second frame on top? Steps 6–8 show how: no feet on the upper frame, 4 clips (10004344) and all 4 wall brackets. Never stack more than two.
  • Don’t pull a basket all the way out. Baskets (sold separately) slide on the runners up to a stop. Pulled out past it, a basket can fall.
