Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Sort the four frame panels.
The two short panels have pegs, the two long side panels have keyhole slots.

Step 2
Screw the push-opener (139468) to a side panel with 2 screws (108444).
Then push the plunger (139467) into it until it clicks.

Step 3
Stand the other side 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 side 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 upright.

Step 7
Push the back panel all the way down into the bottom groove.

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

Step 9
Fit legs or a suspension rail — follow its own manual.
Legs and suspension rail are sold separately.

Step 10
Press 2 wall connectors (141413) into the back, just below the top.
Door on the right, as here? Then panel 1 goes at the bottom — see the manual, step 10.

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

Step 12
Turn a knob (141414) onto each connector.
Turn it clockwise.

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

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

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

Step 16
Push in 4 shelf pins (131372) and lay the shelf on them.
The shelf must not stick out past the front edge (manual step 16).

Step 17
Press 2 hinge bushings (10119600) into the top and bottom panels.
At the front corner on the hinge side.

Step 18
Click a hinge arm (10119658) into each bushing.

Step 19
Screw the washer (101313) and a screw (108444) into the door.
Lay the door down inside face up.

Step 20
Push the hinge pins into the door: 139477 on top, 133127 below.

Step 21
Set the door onto the lower hinge arm.
The bottom pin goes into the arm.

Step 22
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. 27.
- Adjust the push-opener. Pull out the plunger, turn it to change its length, and push it back — manual p. 28.
- Hanging it on the wall instead? Use the EKET suspension rail (sold separately), its manual and the drilling template AA-1908785.
