Setup and Assembly

The IKEA PAX/HASVIK wardrobe requires assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for the assembly process due to the size and weight of the components. Ensure you have adequate space and the necessary tools before beginning.

Before You Begin:

• Unpack and Verify: Carefully unpack all boxes and verify that all parts listed in the assembly instructions are present.
• Clear Workspace: Ensure a clean, flat, and spacious area for assembly.
• Tools Required: Typically includes a hammer, screwdriver (Phillips and flathead), and possibly an Allen key (often included).
• Wall Anchoring: For safety, it is crucial to anchor the wardrobe to the wall using the provided hardware to prevent tipping. Different wall materials require different types of fastening devices. Consult a professional if unsure.

Assembly Steps (General Guide):

1. Frame Assembly: Assemble the main frame of the wardrobe by connecting the side panels, top, and bottom panels using the provided cam locks and dowels.
2. Back Panel Installation: Slide or nail the back panel into the grooves of the frame. This adds stability.
3. Internal Fittings: Install shelves, clothes rails, and any other internal organizers according to your desired configuration. Ensure shelves are securely seated on their pins.
4. Door Frame and Track Installation: Attach the sliding door tracks to the top and bottom of the wardrobe frame.
5. Door Panel Installation: Carefully lift and hang the HASVIK sliding door panels onto the tracks. Adjust as necessary for smooth operation.
6. Final Adjustments: Ensure all connections are tight and the wardrobe is stable. Level the wardrobe using adjustable feet if present.
7. Wall Anchoring: Securely fasten the wardrobe to the wall using the anti-tip hardware. This step is critical for safety.

Operating Instructions

Using the Sliding Doors:
