Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Stand both side frames upside down on the packaging.
Check which end is up by the runner positions — see the manual, step 1.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Push the corner plugs of 2 rails into the 4 post ends.
Then tap each corner down with the hammer, using the plastic block (10004342).
Step 3 · manual step 2
Turn the frame over and fit the other 2 rails the same way.
Push the 4 plugs in, then tap them down with the hammer and the block.
Step 4 · manual step 3
Turn it upside down and screw in the 4 feet (10003068) by hand.
One in each corner.
Step 5 · manual step 4
Turn the frame upright and set it near the wall.
Step 6 · manual step 4
Level the frame: turn the feet in or out.
Check it with a spirit level on a board across the top, as the manual shows.
Step 7 · manual step 5
Click a wall bracket (10003467) onto each back post.
Near the top, with the screw eye against the wall — see the manual, step 5.
Step 8 · manual step 5
Push the frame back and screw both brackets to the wall.
Gap to the wall of 10 or 15 mm? Fit a spacer (124461) behind each bracket — see the info pages.
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.
