3. Safety Information

• Assembly: Always assemble the wardrobe on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Ensure all hardware is securely tightened.
• Stability: For safety, it is highly recommended to anchor the wardrobe to a wall using appropriate anti-tip hardware (not included) to prevent tipping, especially in households with children or pets.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across shelves and drawers. Do not overload shelves; the maximum supported weight per shelf is 7 kg.
• Children: Keep small parts and packaging materials away from children during assembly. Do not allow children to climb on or play with the wardrobe.
• Moving: If you need to move the wardrobe, empty it completely first. Do not drag the wardrobe; lift it carefully to avoid damage to the structure or floor.

4. Package Contents

Before assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. The package should contain:

• All necessary MDF panels (sides, top, bottom, back, doors, drawer fronts, shelves).
• Hardware kit (screws, dowels, hinges, drawer slides, handles, hanger rod).
• Assembly instructions (this manual).

If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact your retailer for assistance.

5. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Doripel Napoli Wardrobe requires two people and basic tools. It is recommended to hire a professional for assembly to ensure proper installation and stability. If assembling yourself, follow these general guidelines:

1. Preparation: Clear a spacious area for assembly. Lay out all panels and hardware. You will need a screwdriver (Phillips head), a hammer, and possibly a drill for wall anchoring.
2. Base Assembly: Begin by assembling the base frame according to the detailed diagrams provided in the separate assembly guide.
3. Side Panels and Back Panel: Attach the side panels, then carefully slide the back panel into its grooves. Ensure the back panel is properly aligned and secured to maintain structural integrity.
4. Internal Structure: Install the internal shelves, drawer supports, and hanger rod.
5. Drawers: Assemble the drawers, attach the telescopic slides to both the drawers and the wardrobe frame, and then insert the drawers.
6. Doors: Attach hinges to the doors and then mount the doors to the wardrobe frame. Adjust hinges as needed for proper alignment and gap spacing.
7. Handles: Install all door and drawer handles.
8. Final Check: Ensure all screws are tightened and the wardrobe is stable. Anchor the wardrobe to the wall if possible.

6. Operating Instructions

Using your Doripel Napoli Wardrobe is straightforward:

• Doors: Gently open and close the doors using the handles. Avoid slamming to prevent damage to hinges and the wardrobe structure.
• Drawers: Pull drawers open smoothly using the handles. The telescopic slides ensure a full and easy extension. Push firmly to close completely.
• Shelves: Place items on shelves, ensuring not to exceed the maximum weight capacity of 7 kg per shelf. Distribute weight evenly.
• Hanger Rod: Use the hanger rod for hanging clothes. Do not overload to prevent bending or detachment.

7. Maintenance and Care

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

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for furniture. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the wardrobe to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, as this can cause warping, discoloration, or damage to the MDF and finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes containing silicone, as these can damage the finish.

8. Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Wardrobe: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the wardrobe is on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the base. Wall anchoring is highly recommended for stability.
• Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the hinges on the doors. Most hinges allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments using a screwdriver.
• Drawers Sticking: Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and free of obstructions. Ensure the drawer is not overloaded. Lubricate slides with a silicone spray if needed.
• Scratches/Dents: Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with a furniture repair pen or wax crayon matching the wardrobe's color.
