Assembly Steps
Step 1: Prepare Side Panels
Insert 12x cam lock screws (part 112996) into the pre-drilled holes on the cabinet side panels. Ensure they are screwed in straight. [Diagram showing screws being inserted into panels]
Step 2: Attach Base/Top Panels
Insert 2x cam locks (part 10046940) into the larger holes on the base or top panels. Rotate the cam lock with a screwdriver to engage the screw head. [Diagram showing cam locks being inserted and turned]
Step 3: Join Panels
Connect panels using 6x wooden pegs/dowels (part 101351) and screws. Ensure panels are flush. [Diagram showing panels being joined with dowels and screws]
Step 4: Secure Panels
Join panels using 6x dowels (part 113434) and 6x cam locks (part 113434). Insert dowels into holes and then secure with cam locks, turning them to lock. [Diagram showing dowels and cam locks being used to join panels]
Step 5: Insert Internal Panel
Slide an internal panel into the assembled frame. [Diagram showing a panel being inserted into the cabinet structure]
Step 6: Attach Another Panel
Attach another panel using 6x wooden pegs/dowels (part 101351). [Diagram showing dowels being inserted]
Step 7: Secure with Cam Locks
Secure the panel using 6x cam locks (part 113434). Turn cam locks to tighten. [Diagram showing cam locks being turned]
Step 8: Prepare for Wall Mounting
Orient the cabinet. Attach wall mounting hardware (1x pack 319503) to the back of the cabinet, likely for later attachment to a wall rail. [Diagram showing cabinet orientation and hardware attachment]
Step 9: Attach Back Panel Section 1
Attach a section of the back panel using 1x screw (part 319503). [Diagram showing screw insertion]
Step 10: Attach Back Panel Section 2
Attach another section of the back panel using 1x screw (part 319503). [Diagram showing screw insertion]
Step 11: Attach Top Panel
Secure the top panel using 2x connectors (part 10036383) and 2x connectors (part 10039201). [Diagram showing connectors being attached]
Step 12: Attach Back Panel
Attach the full back panel using 10x screws (part 319503). [Diagram showing screws being inserted into the back panel]
Step 13: Install Drawer Runners/Hardware
Install 2x cam locks (part 10046940) for drawer runners or internal fittings. [Diagram showing cam locks being installed]
Wall Mounting
Important: Ensure the cabinet is securely attached to the wall to prevent tipping. [Warning symbol]
The SEKTION system typically uses a wall rail for mounting. Attach the wall rail to the wall using appropriate fixings for your wall type (screws and plugs are not included). [Diagram showing a wall rail being attached to a wall]
Hang the assembled cabinet onto the wall rail. Ensure it is properly seated and secured. [Diagram showing cabinet being hung on rail]
Note: Incorrect wall mounting can lead to serious injury. Always use the provided wall attachment devices and ensure they are suitable for your wall. [Diagram showing incorrect mounting with 'X']
Final Securing
Step 15: Secure Cabinet to Rail
Attach 2x cam locks (part 124526) to the cabinet, which will likely engage with the wall rail or other mounting hardware. [Diagram showing cam locks being attached]
Step 16: Lock Cabinet in Place
Use 2x locking mechanisms (part 124518) and 2x locking mechanisms (part 124519) to secure the cabinet to the wall mounting system. [Diagram showing locking mechanisms being engaged]
