Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Sort the four frame panels.
Two have pegs, two have keyhole slots. The peg panel marked 1 is the top.

Step 2
Screw the push-opener (139468) to a keyhole panel with 2 screws (108444).
Use the panel with the pre-drilled holes. Then push in the plunger (139467) until it clicks.

Step 3
Stand the other keyhole panel on edge and slide a peg panel down onto it.
The 3 pegs go into the keyhole slots — press down firmly.

Step 4
Slide the panel with the push-opener down onto the pegs.

Step 5
Slide the back panel into the grooves.
Make sure it runs in the grooves, not on top of them.

Step 6
Slide the last peg panel down to close the frame, then turn it over.

Step 7
Panel 1 goes at the top. Push the back panel fully into the bottom groove.

Step 8
Fit a clip (10093081) at the bottom centre of the back panel.
Then press a wedge (10093082) into the clip.

Step 9
Fit the other 3 clips: top centre and one on each side.
Press a wedge (10093082) into each one.

Step 10
Door hinged on the right? Turn the cabinet over so panel 1 is at the bottom.
For a door hinged on the left, keep panel 1 at the top (manual p. 13).

Step 11
Fit legs or a suspension rail — follow its own manual.
Legs and suspension rail are sold separately (manual p. 12).

Step 12 · manual step 10
Press 2 wall connectors (141413) into the back, just below the top.

Step 13 · manual step 11
Drill through the back panel at each connector with a Ø 8 mm bit.
Ø 8 mm = 5/16".

Step 14 · manual step 12
Turn a knob (141414) onto each connector.
Turn it clockwise.

Step 15 · manual step 13
Move the cabinet to the wall.
Turn both knobs until they touch the wall, clear of the skirting board.

Step 16 · manual step 14
Screw through each plate (152651) into the wall.
Wall screws are not included — choose screws for your wall type.

Step 17 · manual step 15
Press a cover cap (152650) onto each plate and turn it to lock.

Step 18 · manual step 16
Press 2 hinge bushings (10119600) into the top and bottom panels.
At the front corner on the hinge side.

Step 19 · manual step 17
Click a hinge arm (10119658) into each bushing.

Step 20 · manual step 18
Screw the washer (101313) and a screw (108444) into the door.
Lay the door down inside face up.

Step 21 · manual step 19
Push the hinge pins into the door: 139477 on top, 133127 below.

Step 22 · manual step 20
Set the door onto the lower hinge arm.
The bottom pin goes into the arm.

Step 23 · manual step 21
Swing the top hinge arm over the door pin until it clicks.
Then close the door.
Tips & safety
- Line up the door. Each hinge arm has an adjuster to move the door sideways — manual p. 24.
- Adjust the push-opener. Pull out the plunger, turn it to change its length, and push it back — manual p. 24.
- Hanging it on the wall instead? Use the EKET suspension rail (sold separately), its manual and the drilling template AA-2693515.
