2. Safety Information

WARNING: To prevent tipping, this furniture must be securely fixed to the wall using the connecting parts provided in the package. Different wall materials require different types of connecting parts. Ensure you use connecting parts suitable for your home's wall structure. If your wall type requires different parts, they must be purchased separately. Always consult a professional if you are unsure about the appropriate wall-mounting hardware for your specific wall type.

• Always follow assembly instructions carefully.
• Do not overload shelves. The maximum load per shelf is 20 kg.

4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the BJORKOVIKEN bookcase requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended that two people assemble this unit for safety and ease.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Refer to the included assembly diagram (if provided separately) to identify each part.
2. Assemble the Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions provided with your product to assemble the main frame of the bookcase. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Install Shelves: Insert the adjustable shelves into the desired positions. The shelves can be moved to customize your storage space.
4. Attach Doors: Attach the doors using the provided hinges. If you have chosen soft-closing hinges, install them according to their specific instructions. Adjustable hinges allow for horizontal and vertical alignment of the doors. If using magnetic push-openers, install them as directed.
5. Wall Mounting: This is a critical safety step. Position the assembled bookcase against the wall in its final location. Using the provided wall-mounting hardware, secure the bookcase to the wall. Ensure the hardware is appropriate for your wall type. If necessary, purchase suitable hardware separately. This step prevents the unit from tipping over.
6. Final Check: Once assembled and wall-mounted, gently shake the unit to ensure stability. Re-tighten any loose fittings.
