Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Screw the 4 wall brackets (10032274) onto the side panels.

2 at each end of each panel.

Step 3
Push 8 dowels (101375) into the edges of the 2 short panels.
2 in each long edge.

Step 4
Stand the 2 short panels on the ends of the side panel.
The cam bolts and dowels go into the holes.

Step 5
Insert 4 cam locks (102509) and turn them clockwise.
Use the flat-head screwdriver.

Step 6
Lay the other side panel on top.
Its cam bolts go into the holes in the short panels.

Step 7
Insert 4 more cam locks (102509) and turn them clockwise.

Step 8
Turn the carcass onto its front and lay the back panel on.

Step 9 · manual step 9–11
Nail 3 corners first, using the nail holder (105494).
Line up each corner of the back panel with the carcass before you nail it.

Step 10 · manual step 12
Hammer in the other 27 nails all around the edge.

Step 11 · manual step 13
Turn it onto its back. Screw on the 2 legs (10059781).
2 screws (124431) per leg, at the front corners of the bottom.

Step 12 · manual step 14
Screw the 2 adjustable feet (10056734) into the legs.

Step 13 · manual step 15
Stand the cabinet up against the wall. Level it with the feet.
Turn the feet to adjust the height until the cabinet is level.

Step 14 · manual step 16
Mark the 4 bracket holes on the wall, then move the cabinet away.
Mark with a pencil through the square opening in each bracket.

Step 15 · manual step 17
Drive 4 screws into the wall at the marks.
Not included — use pan-head screws suited to your wall; leave the heads sticking out.

Step 16 · manual step 18
Clip the 4 plates (153647) onto the brackets and hang the cabinet.
The screw heads go through the keyholes. Adjust the brackets, then tighten.

Step 17 · manual step 19
Snap the 4 covers (10043569) over the brackets.
2 at the bottom and 2 at the top.

Step 18 · manual step 20

The door can also hang on the right — see the manual before step 23.

Step 22 · manual step 24
Mark the knob hole 30 mm from the edge and drill it (ø 5 mm).
At the height of the middle hinge. Hold a piece of wood behind the door so it doesn’t splinter.

- Door not lined up? Turn the hinge screws to move it sideways, in/out or up/down — see the last page of the manual.
