Usage Features
Assembly Process:
The assembly process is broken down into 14 steps, starting with the base and building up to the doors and shelves.
- Attach bottom stretchers to one leg assembly: Involves securing bottom stretchers (K) to a leg assembly (J) using bolts (H4), lock washers (H5), flat washers (H6), and the hex wrench (H18).
- Install the base: Repeats the process from step 1 to complete the base structure.
- Attach door stoppers to the top panel: Door stoppers (H10) are attached to the top panel (A) using M3 x 10 mm screws (H11) into pilot holes.
- Fasten the top reinforcement: The top reinforcement (F) is fastened to the top panel (A) using M4 x 38 mm screws (H8). The countersunk holes face upward.
- Prepare top and bottom panels assembly: Cam bolts (H2) are securely screwed into the designated small holes on the top (A) and bottom (B) panels.
- Attach the side panels and partition panel to the top panel: Wood dowels (H3) are inserted into the inner holes of side panels (D) and partition panel (E). These panels are then attached to the top panel (A) using cam locks (H1).
- Attach the bottom panel to the vertical panels: Wood dowels (H3) are inserted into the bottom inner holes of side panels (D) and partition panel (E). The bottom panel (B) is aligned and pressed together. M4 x 50 mm screws (H17) are used to secure the partition panel (E) to the bottom panel (B).
- Fasten the back panel: The back panel (C) is unfolded and laid onto the back edges of the assembled unit. It is then attached using M3.5 x 15 mm washer head screws (H7), with a recommendation to start at the corners.
- Attach the base: Twelve 1/4" x 15 mm bolts (H4), lock washers (H5), and flat washers (H6) are used to secure the assembled base to the bottom panel (B). Floor levelers are then set.
- Install the door handles and hinges: Hinges (H12) are extended and rested into the hinge cups on each door (H and I). M4 x 15 mm screws (H13) are used to fasten the hinges. Handles (H14) are attached to the front of each door using M4 x 18 mm handle bolts (H15).
- Attach the doors: This step requires assistance due to the weight. The assembled unit is lifted upright. Middle left door (I) and extended hinge bases are attached to the left side of the partition panel (E) using M4 x 15 mm nickel screws (H13). The same process is repeated for the other doors (H) into place. Adjustments are made to ensure doors are aligned and shut correctly.
- Install the adjustable shelves and put cam lock covers: Four shelf supports (H9) are inserted into holes at the desired height inside each compartment. Adjustable shelves (G) are then rested onto the shelf supports. Cam lock covers (H16) are placed onto the visible cam locks.
- Adjust the doors: Provides instructions for depth, horizontal, and vertical adjustments of the doors, along with floor leveler adjustments to correct tilting.
- Install the tipping restraint hardware kit: This crucial safety step involves attaching a metal bracket to the back panel of the unit and securing it to a wooden stud in the wall using a nylon strap, short screw, and long screw.
