4. Assembly Instructions

The wardrobe is designed for self-assembly. While assembly is straightforward, careful attention to detail and following the diagrams is essential. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

1. Step 1: Unpacking and Preparation
   Carefully unpack all components. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a blanket or cardboard) to prevent scratches. Identify all parts and hardware using the provided diagrams. Ensure all pieces are accounted for before proceeding.
2. Step 2: Base Assembly
   Assemble the base frame of the wardrobe according to the diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Step 3: Side Panel Attachment
   Attach the side panels to the assembled base. Use the specified fasteners and ensure they are firmly connected.
4. Step 4: Shelf Installation
   Insert the shelves into the designated slots on the left side of the wardrobe. Ensure they are level and securely seated.
5. Step 5: Hanging Rail Installation
   Secure the hanging rail on the right side of the wardrobe. Verify it is firmly attached and can support the weight of clothes.
6. Step 6: Drawer Assembly
   Assemble the two drawers. Pay close attention to the installation of the GTV roller guides, which feature an anti-ejection lock to prevent accidental drawer removal.
7. Step 7: Drawer Insertion
   Insert the assembled drawers into their compartments in the lower section of the wardrobe. Test for smooth operation.
8. Step 8: Door Attachment

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD wardrobe, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the laminated finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust with a dry, soft cloth to prevent buildup.
• Spills: Immediately wipe any spills with a dry cloth to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood.
• Edge Protection: The edges are covered with an ABS rim, which protects against minor damage. However, avoid excessive impact to maintain integrity.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading or discoloration of the finish.
