Tips & safety
- Always fix IDÅSEN to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Wall screws and plugs are not included.
- Wall with a skirting board? Fit the 2 spacers (190233 + 190232) at the back so the cabinet stands straight — see the manual, steps 15–16.
- Doors not level? Adjust them with the screws on the hinges — see the manual, p. 35.
