Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Screw the 2 rail holders (10042365) onto the divider and a side.
1 screw (146113) each — not the 146114 screws. Lay the panels flat on the rug.

Step 2
Stand the other side on its front edge and hook the fixed shelf on.
Its 3 connectors go into the keyholes — then press the shelf down to lock.

Step 3
Lower the divider onto the other end of the shelf.
Same connectors — press down until they lock.

Step 4 · manual step 4–5
Press the 6 feet (10061178) into the bottom panel, then turn it over.

2 screws (146114) each. Then push 2 dowels (101350) into the bottom rail.

Step 21 · manual step 28–29

Tips & safety
- Always fix the wardrobe to the wall. Children have died from furniture tip-over. Never put a TV on it. The screws and plugs supplied suit most solid and hollow walls; in solid wood use the screws without plugs. If unsure, seek professional advice.
- Doors not lined up? Turn the screws on the hinges to move a door sideways or up/down — see the last page of the manual.
