IKEA ADILS Leg Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The IKEA ADILS Leg is a versatile and adjustable table leg designed to facilitate the creation of customized desks or tables. It is engineered for stability and durability, supporting various table tops and surfaces. This manual provides essential information for the correct assembly, safe use, and proper care of your ADILS legs.

2. Safety Information

Important Safety Warning: Avoid overloading. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 110 pounds (approximately 50 kg) per leg. Distribute weight evenly across the table surface. Ensure all screws are securely tightened before use.

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, during assembly. Keep small parts away from children.

3. Package Contents

Please verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• IKEA ADILS Leg (x2)
• Mounting Plate (pre-attached to leg)
• Mounting Screws (quantity sufficient for two legs)

4. Setup and Installation

The ADILS leg is designed for screw-in installation. A screwdriver is required for assembly (not included).

1. Prepare the Surface: Identify the desired mounting locations on the underside of your table top. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from obstructions.
2. Position the Leg: Place the mounting plate of the ADILS leg flush against the underside of the table top at the desired position.
3. Secure the Leg: Using a screwdriver, insert and tighten the provided mounting screws through the holes in the mounting plate into the table top. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly to prevent wobbling. Do not overtighten.
4. Repeat for Additional Legs: Follow the same steps for all remaining ADILS legs. Ensure legs are evenly spaced for optimal stability.
5. Adjust for Level: The ADILS leg features a small adjustable foot at the bottom. Rotate this foot clockwise or counter-clockwise to make minor height adjustments and ensure the table is level on uneven floors.

5. Operating

Once properly installed, the IKEA ADILS legs provide stable support for your table or desk. The primary function is to elevate and support a flat surface, creating a functional piece of furniture. Ensure the table is placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping. Avoid dragging the table, as this can loosen the leg attachments; lift and move it instead.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your ADILS legs, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, a damp cloth with a mild cleaner can be used, followed by drying thoroughly.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ADILS legs, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Wobbly Table:
  • Check if all legs are securely attached and screws are tightened.
  • Ensure the table top itself is rigid and not warped.
  • Adjust the small foot at the bottom of each leg to compensate for uneven floor surfaces.
• Leg Not Attaching Securely:
  • Verify that the screws are compatible with your table top material and are long enough to provide a secure hold without penetrating through the top surface.
  • Ensure the mounting plate is flush against the table top before tightening screws.
• Scratches on Floor:
  • The ADILS leg comes with a plastic foot designed to protect floors. If scratches occur, inspect the foot for damage or consider adding felt pads for extra protection, especially on delicate flooring.
