IKEA EKET Cabinet Assembly Instructions
Important Safety Information
⚠ WARNING: Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over. To prevent this, the furniture MUST be permanently fixed to the wall using the included wall attachment fittings. If the product is to be hung on the wall, use the designated suspension rail (sold separately at IKEA). Always assess your wall to ensure it can withstand the weight. Screws for wall fixation are not included as wall materials vary; consult your local specialized dealer for advice on suitable screw systems. Wall fixing/hanging must be carried out by a qualified person, as incorrect fixation may cause injury or damage.
