Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay the 2 large side panels on a rug.
The 2 small side panels are for the top unit — keep them aside for now.
Step 2 · manual step 2–3
Stand one side on its edge. Click in the top and bottom panels.
Push the 2 fittings into the holes, slide the panel in and press down until it clicks.
Step 3 · manual step 4
Fit the other side panel and press it down until it clicks.
4 click fittings — 2 at each panel.
Step 4 · manual step 5
Slide the back panel into the grooves in the side panels.
It is folded in two. Slide it in until it sticks out past the top end, as in the manual.
Step 5 · manual step 6–8
Push 8 plugs (151708) through the back, fit 6 clips, then 8 pins (151707).
Clips 10093081 + caps 10093082. Don’t use the 144575 plugs or 144574 pins here.
Step 6 · manual step 9–10
Fit the plinth with 2 dowels (101345), then push in the 4 feet.
2 straight feet (153548) and 2 T-shaped feet (10040039) — positions: see the manual, step 10.
Step 7
Now the top unit.
It is built the same way, lying on its front.
Step 8 · manual step 11
Push 4 long dowels (120173) into the small side panels.
2 into the bottom end of each panel.
Step 9 · manual step 12–13
Click the top panel into one side, then fit the other side.
Press each panel down until it clicks.
Step 10 · manual step 14–15
Push in 3 dowels (101345) by hand and press the rail on. Lock it.
No hammer. Then a plug (151708) and a pin (151707) through each side.
Step 11 · manual step 16
Turn the bottom unit upright.
Step 12 · manual step 16–17
Push 3 dowels (101345) in by hand and press the rail on at the back.
No hammer. Lock it with a plug (151708) and a pin (151707) through each side.
Step 13 · manual step 18
With two people, lower the top unit onto the bottom unit.
The back panel slides into its grooves and the 4 long dowels go into the bottom side panels. Lift by the sides, not the back panel.
Step 14 · manual step 19–20
Join the backs with 2 connector plates (10049270), then fit 2 clips.
Per plate: 4 plugs (144575), then 4 pins (144574). Clips 10093081 + caps 10093082. Don’t push on the back panel.
Step 15 · manual step 21–22
Fit the 2 wall fittings (150688) and screw a spacer knob (150689) onto each.
The knobs are for a wall with a skirting board — no skirting board: leave them off (manual p. 19).
Step 16 · manual step 23–25
Push it against the wall and turn the knobs to touch it. Mark 2 holes.
Mark the wall with a pencil through the 2 holes in the back rail, then move the cabinet away.
Step 17 · manual step 26–27
Plug the wall, push the cabinet back and screw it on through the rail.
Long screw 147968 + washer 126916 with the knobs; 158469 without. Wall type: see manual p. 22. Then press on the 2 caps.
Step 18 · manual step 28
Press 8 shelf supports (10051650) into the side panels.
4 per shelf.
Step 19 · manual step 29–30
Fit a fitting (10050715) + pin (144574) to each shelf, then lay them in.
The fitting goes at the back edge, on the top side.
Step 20 · manual step 31–32
Screw 4 mounting plates (10039878) into the sides and 4 hinges (10039873) onto the doors.
Phillips screwdriver. Lay the doors face-down.
Step 21 · manual step 33
Screw a knob (10052019) onto each door.
1 screw (119976) per knob, from the back of the door.
Step 22 · manual step 34
Click the hinges onto the mounting plates, tighten, and close the doors.
Slide each hinge onto its plate until it clicks, then tighten the screw.
Tips & safety
- Always fix the cabinet to the wall. Tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. The screws and plugs suit most solid and hollow walls; in solid wood use the screw without a plug. If unsure, ask a professional.
- Doors not lined up? Turn the hinge screws with a screwdriver to move a door sideways, in/out or up/down — see the manual, page 29.
