Step-by-step assembly

Step 1 · manual step 1–2
Slide the rail onto the end frame and fix it with 1 screw (107616).
The frame is built lying down on the rug.

Step 2 · manual step 3–4
Slide on the long mesh panel and fix it with 1 screw (107616).
This panel becomes the bottom shelf.

Step 3 · manual step 5–6
Fit the second rail and fix it with 1 screw (107616).

Step 4 · manual step 7–8
Fit the second end frame and fix it with 3 screws (107616).
Do this with two people.

Step 5 · manual step 9
Screw the 2 arched brackets to the front legs — 2 screws (107616) each.

Step 6 · manual step 10
Fix each bracket to the bottom shelf with 2 sleeves and 2 bolts.
Sleeves 152526 go in from one side, bolts 152527 from the other.

Step 7 · manual step 11
Screw 4 feet (122158) into the ends of the end-frame legs.

Step 8 · manual step 12–13
Screw on the 3 front posts with 6 screws (139212).
The 2 posts with hinge holes go at the sides, the plain one in the middle.

Step 9 · manual step 14–15
Turn it over and screw on the 3 back posts (6 × 139212).
Again the plain post goes in the middle.

Step 10 · manual step 16
Screw 6 feet (122158) into the ends of the posts.

Step 11 · manual step 17
Stand the frame upright and lower the shelf onto the rails.
Check which way the shelf faces — see the manual, step 17.

Step 12 · manual step 18
Make a starter hole with the awl, then fix the shelf with 10 screws (152497).
5 along the front, 5 along the back.

Step 13 · manual step 19
Lay the top face-down on the rug and place the top frame on it.
Check the frame’s tabs face as in the manual, step 19.

Step 14 · manual step 20
Pre-punch with the awl, then screw the frame to the top — 10 screws (152497).
6 through the tabs, 4 through the cross bars.

Step 15 · manual step 21
Turn the top over and lower it onto the posts.
The stubs under the frame go into the tube ends.

Step 16 · manual step 22
Screw the top frame to the legs and front posts — 7 screws (107616).

Step 17 · manual step 23
At the back, fix the 3 clips to the back posts with 3 screws (107616).
Check the clips are turned the right way — see the manual, step 23.

Step 18 · manual step 24
Level the unit by turning the 10 feet.
Use the spirit level on the top.

Step 19 · manual step 25
Screw 2 hinges (153334) onto each door — 16 screws (107616).
Lay the 4 doors face-up on the rug.

Step 20 · manual step 26
Hang the doors: screw each hinge to the frame — 16 screws (107616).
The outer doors hinge on the end frames, the middle two on the side posts.

Step 21 · manual step 27
Fit a washer (139578) with a screw (114755) on the inside of each door.
Near the top corner on the opening side — see the manual, step 27.

Step 22 · manual step 28
Doors not lining up? Push the unit square, then tighten the 4 bolts.
The bracket bolts 152527 and sleeves 152526 at the bottom front corners.

Step 23 · manual step 29
Fix the unit to the wall with 2 screws through the top frame.
Wall screws and plugs are not included — use ones that suit your wall.
