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.
- Don’t put a TV or heavy objects on top. Put the heaviest items low, and never let children climb or hang on the doors or shelves.
- Doors not lined up? Turn the wheel on the bottom door fittings with the included key (100049) — see the manual, page 34.
