Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Screw the 4 wall brackets (10032274) onto the side panels.
2 screws (10048881) per bracket — one bracket at each end of each panel.

Step 2
Screw 16 cam bolts (123492) into the side panels.
8 in each panel.

Step 3
Push 16 dowels (101375) into the edges of the 4 short panels.
2 in each long edge.

Step 4
Stand the 4 short panels on the side panel.
Top, bottom and 2 shelves — the cam bolts and dowels go into the holes.

Step 5
Insert 8 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 8 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
Screw the 3 hinges (144553) onto the back of the door.
The door can hang on the left or the right — check the hole positions in the manual first.

Step 19 · manual step 21
Hang the door on the left side panel and tighten the hinge screws.

Step 20 · manual step 22
Click the 2 rings (123056) into the round openings in the door.
Each ring has a front and a back part that click together.

Step 21 · manual step 23
Press the 3 covers (139244) into the unused hinge holes.
On the back of the door, along the edge without hinges.

Step 22 · manual step 24–25
Drill the knob hole (ø 5 mm), 30 mm from the edge. Fit the knob (106266).
At the middle hinge height. The screw (119976) goes through the door from the back.

Stick the 2 bumpers (107091) on the back of the door.
Near the top and bottom corners of the free edge.

Step 24 · manual step 27
Screw the 2 stops (123029) onto the left side panel.
Beside the middle and bottom hinges, 1 screw (124431) each — mark the holes with an awl first.

Unfold the 2 laundry bags and put them in the cabinet.
Push the bottom board into each bag first — see the manual, step 28.
Tips & safety
- Always fix the cabinet to the wall. Tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Wall screws and plugs are not included — use ones suited to your wall; if unsure, ask a professional.
- Door not lined up? Turn the hinge screws to move it sideways, in/out or up/down — see the last page of the manual.
