Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for the IKEA EKET wall-mounted cabinet combination. The product includes mounting brackets necessary for wall installation. Ensure you have the appropriate tools and follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide that accompanies your product. Proper wall mounting is crucial for stability and safety.
Key Assembly Considerations:
- Wall Type: Verify your wall material can support the weight of the cabinet and its contents. Use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific wall type (e.g., drywall, concrete, wood studs).
- Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure all units are mounted perfectly level to prevent sagging and ensure doors operate correctly.
- Secure Mounting: Ensure all mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall and the cabinet units are firmly attached to the brackets.

Operation
The EKET cabinet combination is designed for easy operation and versatile storage. The open shelves are ideal for displaying decorative items, books, or frequently accessed objects. The closed units, typically featuring doors, provide discreet storage for items you wish to keep out of sight, helping to maintain a tidy appearance.
Usage Tips:
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across shelves to maintain stability and prevent warping. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on any single shelf.
- Door Operation: If your combination includes doors, ensure they open and close smoothly. If a door feels stiff or misaligned, check the hinge adjustments.
- Adjustable Features: Some EKET units may feature adjustable shelves. Refer to your assembly guide for instructions on how to reposition shelves to suit your storage needs.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your IKEA EKET cabinet combination, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth with a mild cleaner can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the surfaces to prevent build-up.
- Avoid Moisture: Protect the cabinet from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause discoloration or damage over time.
- Check Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight, especially after initial assembly and during seasonal changes.

Common Issues and Solutions:
