Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Vicco Claus Wardrobe requires careful attention to detail. We recommend two people for assembly.
- Unpack and Verify: Carefully unpack all components and check them against the parts list provided in the separate assembly instructions. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.
- Prepare Workspace: Assemble the wardrobe on a clean, flat, and soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Follow Instructions: Refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided in your package. Follow each step sequentially. Pay close attention to diagrams and hardware usage.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all screws, dowels, and connectors are tightened securely, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the particle board.
- Wall Anchoring: Once assembled, it is crucial to anchor the wardrobe to a solid wall using the provided anti-tip hardware. This prevents accidental tipping and ensures safety. Choose appropriate wall plugs for your wall type (not always included).

Operating the Wardrobe
The Vicco Claus Wardrobe is designed for straightforward use:
- Opening/Closing Doors: Gently pull the door handles to open the swing doors. Push them firmly to close. Avoid slamming doors to prevent damage to hinges and the wardrobe structure.
- Using the Clothes Rail: Hang garments on standard hangers on the integrated clothes rail. Do not overload the rail beyond its weight capacity.
- Adjusting Shelves: The shelves are typically adjustable. Refer to your specific assembly instructions for details on how to reposition them using the pre-drilled holes and shelf pins. Ensure shelves are securely seated before placing items on them.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across shelves and the clothes rail. Avoid placing heavy items on the top shelves to maintain stability.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Vicco Claus Wardrobe, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the wardrobe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Avoid Moisture: Protect the wardrobe from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause warping or discoloration.
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 40 kg for the entire unit. Distribute weight evenly.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Vicco Claus Wardrobe, consider the following common solutions:
- Difficulty Assembling: If assembly is challenging, re-read the instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented and that you are using the correct hardware for each step. Sometimes, parts may appear similar but have subtle differences.
- Instability/Wobbling: This is often due to loose connections or improper wall anchoring. Ensure all screws are tightened and that the wardrobe is securely anchored to the wall as per the safety instructions. Check that the floor is level.
- Damaged Parts Upon Arrival: If any components are damaged during delivery, do not proceed with assembly. Contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer support immediately with details and photographic evidence of the damage.
- Doors Not Aligning: Check that the hinges are correctly installed and adjusted. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align doors. Refer to the assembly manual for hinge adjustment details.
If problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
