Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the Wall Secure for your IKEA IVAR side unit:

1. Prepare the IKEA IVAR Unit: Ensure your IKEA IVAR side unit is assembled according to its own instructions and placed in its desired location against the wall.
2. Position the Wall Secure: Place the Wall Secure bracket against the back of the IKEA IVAR side unit, aligning the central hole of the bracket with one of the pre-drilled holes on the side unit's upright post. The L-shaped part of the bracket should extend towards the wall.
3. Attach to IVAR Unit: Use one of the provided mounting screws to secure the bracket to the IKEA IVAR side unit. Ensure it is firmly attached but do not overtighten.
4. Mark Wall Position: With the bracket attached to the IVAR unit, push the unit gently against the wall. Use a pencil to mark the wall through the remaining two holes on the L-shaped part of the bracket.
5. Drill Pilot Holes (if necessary): Depending on your wall material (e.g., drywall, concrete), you may need to drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Use an appropriate drill bit size for the provided screws and wall anchors (wall anchors are not included and may be required for certain wall types).
6. Secure to Wall: Align the bracket with the drilled holes (or marks) on the wall. Use the remaining two mounting screws to fasten the bracket securely to the wall. If using wall anchors, insert them before screwing.
7. Verify Stability: Gently push and pull the IKEA IVAR unit to ensure it is firmly secured to the wall and does not wobble.

Maintenance

The Wall Secure is made from durable plastic and requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check the following:

• Screw Tightness: Ensure all mounting screws (both into the IVAR unit and the wall) remain tight. Retighten if any looseness is detected.
• Bracket Condition: Inspect the plastic bracket for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. If the bracket is damaged, replace it immediately.
• Cleanliness: Wipe the bracket with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty or dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the plastic.
