4. Setup and Assembly
The AKORD FIN 180 cabinet is designed for straightforward assembly. It is intended to be installed over a 60 cm wide washing machine. Ensure you have all components and tools before starting.
4.1 Before Assembly
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list (usually included in the packaging).
- Clear a spacious, clean area for assembly.
- Gather necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, hammer, drill for wall mounting).
- If your washing machine is already in place, it may need to be disconnected and moved temporarily to allow for cabinet placement and secure wall mounting.
4.2 Assembly Steps
- Assemble the Cabinet Frame: Follow the provided diagrams to connect the side panels, top, and bottom panels using the supplied fasteners. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Install Shelves: Insert the shelf supports into the pre-drilled holes at your desired height. Place the four shelves onto the supports.
- Attach Doors: Mount the hinges to the cabinet frame and then attach the two doors. Adjust the hinges to ensure the doors align correctly and close smoothly.
- Install Handles: Attach the silver-finished handles to the doors.
- Prepare for Wall Mounting: Identify the appropriate location above your washing machine. Mark the drilling points on the wall for the adjustable hanging hooks. Ensure the marks are level and at the correct height to accommodate the washing machine underneath.
- Secure to Wall: Drill holes, insert wall plugs (if necessary for your wall type), and securely fasten the adjustable hanging hooks to the wall. Carefully lift the assembled cabinet and hang it onto the wall hooks. Adjust the hooks to ensure the cabinet is level and firmly attached.

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD FIN 180 cabinet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Door Hinges: If doors become misaligned, adjust the hinges as needed.

If you encounter issues during assembly or use, consider the following:
- Difficulty Identifying Parts: Refer to the detailed diagrams in the assembly instructions. Ensure you match each component carefully before assembly. If parts are unclear, contact customer support.
- Cabinet Not Stable: Double-check that the wall mounting hooks are securely fastened to a suitable wall structure. Ensure all internal fasteners are tightened. The cabinet must be firmly attached to the wall to prevent movement.
- Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the screws on the hinges to fine-tune door alignment.
