4. Assembly Instructions (Setup)

This hardware kit provides the fasteners required for assembling your IKEA KALLAX 2x4 shelf unit. For detailed step-by-step assembly instructions for the KALLAX unit itself, please refer to the original IKEA manual provided with your KALLAX shelf unit. This kit is intended to replace or supplement the original hardware.

General Assembly Steps (Refer to IKEA Manual for specifics):

1. Prepare Components: Lay out all KALLAX panels and the hardware from this kit.
2. Insert Dowels: Insert the wooden dowels (101339) into the pre-drilled holes on the KALLAX panels as indicated in the IKEA manual. Ensure they are seated firmly.
3. Attach Panels: Connect the KALLAX panels according to the IKEA manual, aligning the dowels and holes.
4. Secure with Screws: Use the provided screws (104321) to secure the panels together. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the particleboard.
5. Final Checks: Once assembled, ensure all connections are secure and the unit is stable.

A Phillips head screwdriver is typically required for assembly (not included in this kit).

5. Operating and Maintenance

As a hardware kit, there are no specific "operating" instructions beyond proper assembly. Once the KALLAX unit is assembled, it can be used as intended.

Maintenance:

• Periodically Check Connections: Over time, screws may loosen. Periodically check all screws and tighten them if necessary to maintain the stability of the KALLAX unit.
• Cleaning: Clean the KALLAX unit according to IKEA's recommendations, typically with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

6. Troubleshooting

• Screws do not fit or are too short/long:

  Double-check the model number of your IKEA shelf unit. This kit is only compatible with KALLAX 802.758.87. If you have an EXPEDIT unit, these screws will not fit correctly. Refer to the "Compatibility" section.

• Dowels are too loose or too tight:

  Ensure you are using the correct dowels for the KALLAX unit. If the dowels are significantly different from the original IKEA dowels for your KALLAX 802.758.87, please contact customer support.

• Missing parts:

  Carefully check all packaging. If parts are genuinely missing, contact ReplacementScrews customer support immediately for assistance.
