The LIATORP series is designed with delicate shapes and details, reminiscent of country living, offering both open and concealed storage options.

2. Safety Information

Important: Furniture that is not anchored can tip over. This furniture must be fastened to the wall with the enclosed anti-tip device to prevent it from tipping over. Different wall materials require different types of fastening devices. Use fastening devices suitable for the walls in your home (not included).

• Ensure all screws and fittings are tightened securely before use. Re-tighten periodically if necessary.
• Do not allow children to climb on the furniture.
• Distribute weight evenly on shelves to maintain stability.

• Glass doors and solid door panels

5. Setup and Placement

Once assembled, carefully move the bookcase to its desired location. Consider the following:

• Leveling: The bookcase features adjustable feet. Use these to ensure the unit stands steady, even on uneven floors. Turn the feet clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the height.
• Wall Anchoring: It is crucial to fasten the bookcase to the wall using the provided anti-tip device. This prevents the unit from tipping over, especially important in homes with children.
• Connecting Units: If you are combining multiple LIATORP units, the cornice and plinth rail are designed to help create a uniform expression when connected.

6. Operating Instructions

• Adjustable Shelves: The shelves are adjustable, allowing you to customize your storage space. To adjust, remove items from the shelf, lift the shelf, remove the shelf pins, reposition the pins to the desired height, and then place the shelf back on the pins.
• Glass Doors: The panel/glass doors provide dust-free storage and allow you to hide or display items. Open and close the doors gently using the handles. If doors are misaligned, adjust the hinges using a screwdriver (refer to the assembly manual for specific hinge adjustment instructions).

7. Maintenance and Care

To keep your LIATORP bookcase in good condition, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. For glass parts, use a glass cleaner.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or chemical sprays as they can damage the finish.
• Moisture: Protect the furniture from excessive moisture and direct heat sources.
• Re-tighten Fittings: Periodically check and re-tighten all assembly fittings to ensure stability.

8. Troubleshooting

• Bookcase is wobbly:
  • Ensure all screws and fittings are tightened.
  • Adjust the feet to level the bookcase on uneven floors.
  • Verify the anti-tip device is securely fastened to the wall.
• Doors do not close properly or are misaligned:
  • Check that the hinges are correctly installed and tightened.
  • Adjust the hinge screws to align the doors. Refer to the assembly manual for detailed hinge adjustment instructions.
• Shelves are not level:
