5. Assembly Instructions (Setup)

Assembly is required for this product. Please follow the steps below carefully. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and hardware. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface. Refer to the parts list (usually included in the separate instruction manual) to identify each piece.
2. Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the chest of drawers. Attach the side panels to the top and bottom panels using the provided screws and dowels. Ensure all connections are snug.
3. Install Drawer Slides: Attach the drawer slides to the interior side panels of the chest frame. Pay attention to the orientation of the slides (left/right, front/back) as indicated in the detailed manual.
4. Assemble Drawers: For each drawer, assemble the front, back, and side panels. Insert the bottom panel into the grooves. Attach the drawer slides to the sides of the assembled drawers.
5. Attach Drawer Fronts and Handles: Secure the drawer fronts to the assembled drawer boxes. Install the metal handles onto each drawer front.
6. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide each assembled drawer into its corresponding slot in the chest frame. Ensure they glide smoothly.
7. Install Anti-Tip Kit: Locate the anti-tip kit. Secure one bracket to the back of the chest of drawers near the top, and the other bracket to a wall stud or using appropriate wall anchors. Connect the two brackets with the provided strap. This step is crucial for safety.
8. Final Check: Verify that all components are securely fastened and the chest is stable.

6. Usage (Operating)

• Opening and Closing Drawers: The drawers are equipped with metal guides for smooth and silent operation. Gently pull or push the metal handles to open and close the drawers.
• Storage: Utilize the two smaller top drawers for smaller items like accessories, socks, or office supplies. The three larger drawers below are ideal for clothing, linens, or bulkier items.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly within the drawers. Avoid placing excessively heavy items in a single drawer to prevent damage to the drawer slides or the unit itself. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 10 kg per drawer or 70 kg total.
• Top Surface: The top surface can be used to display decorative items, lamps, or books. Ensure items placed on top do not exceed the unit's stability limits.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the unit with a dry, soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Avoid Moisture: Protect the furniture from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration.

8. Troubleshooting

• Drawers not sliding smoothly: Check if the drawer slides are properly aligned and free from obstructions. Ensure all screws on the slides are tight. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the slides if needed.
• Unit feels wobbly: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Verify that the unit is placed on a level surface. If wobbling persists, re-check the anti-tip kit installation.
• Missing parts: If you find any parts missing during unpacking, please refer to the package contents list and contact customer support for assistance.
