Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Join the bottom panel to a side panel with 2 screws (104321).
Both on edge. Turn the screws in with the Allen key 100001. Check the hole pattern — see the manual, step 1.
Step 2
Tap 8 dowels (101345) into the edges of the 4 dividers.
2 per divider, with the hammer. Use the short dowels, not 101339.
Step 3
Push the 3 large dividers onto the bottom panel.
The dowels go into the holes in the panel.
Step 4
Tap 4 dowels (101345) into the outer two dividers.
The middle divider gets no dowels here.
Step 5
Tap 4 dowels (101345) into the ends of the middle shelf.
2 at each end.
Step 6
Fit the shelf onto the dividers and the side panel.
6 dowels go into the holes.
Step 7
Tap the 2 long dowels (101339) through the middle of the shelf.
Step 8
Push the small divider onto the long dowels.
Step 9
Screw the 2 wall brackets (115753) onto the top panel.
2 screws (100372) each, with the Phillips screwdriver — at the back edge, near the ends.
Step 10
Fit the top panel and fix it with 2 screws (104321).
The brackets go at the back. Turn the screws in with the Allen key.
Step 11
Fit the other side panel with 4 screws (104321).
Its dowel holes go onto the shelf dowels.
Step 12
Stick 6 felt pads onto the bottom panel.
Peel them off the sheets (10002300): 2 at each end, 2 in the middle.
Step 13
Stand the unit upright.
Lift it with two people.
Step 14 · manual step 13
Push it against the wall, check it is level and mark the 2 brackets.
Mark the wall through the bracket holes with a pencil.
Step 15 · manual step 14
Move the unit away and drive 2 screws into the wall at the marks.
Wall screws are not included — use ones suited to your wall. Leave the heads out a little.
Step 16 · manual step 15
Push the unit back and hook the brackets on with the 2 plates (103693).
Adjust and tighten the wall screws, then slide on the 2 covers (115754).
Tips & safety
- Always fix the TV unit to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Wall screws are not included — ask a specialist if unsure.
- Assemble with two people. The manual shows two people — especially for standing the unit up and moving it into place.
