EKET Assembly Instructions

Important Safety Information

⚠️ WARNING: Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries.

To prevent this furniture from tipping over, it must be permanently fixed to the wall using the wall attachment fittings included in the packaging. If the product is to be hung on the wall, it must be done with the designated suspension rail (sold separately at IKEA).

Assess the wall to ensure that it will withstand the weight. As wall materials vary, screws for wall fixation are not included. For advice on suitable screw systems for your wall, contact your local specialised dealer. Wall fixing/hanging must be carried out by a qualified person, since wrong fixation may cause injury or damage.

This warning is provided in multiple languages to ensure understanding.

Assembly Steps

Step 1: Prepare Panels

Lay out the four main cabinet panels. These are typically the sides, top, and bottom pieces, distinguished by their pre-drilled holes and edge finishes.

Step 2: Attach Fittings to Panels

Insert and secure fittings (e.g., cam lock posts or dowels) into the designated holes on the panels. A 'click' sound [click] indicates a secure connection for some fittings.

Step 3: Assemble Cabinet Frame

Connect the side panels to the base panel using the provided screws and connectors. Ensure panels are aligned correctly.

Step 4: Attach Remaining Side Panel

Attach the second side panel to the base and the first side panel, securing it with the appropriate hardware.

Step 5: Attach Top Panel

Place the top panel onto the assembled side panels and secure it in place.

Step 6: Attach Back Panel

Slide or attach the back panel into the grooves or designated area on the rear of the cabinet. This often involves securing it with small screws or clips.

Step 7: Install Wall Mounting Bracket

Attach a wall mounting bracket to the back of the cabinet. This bracket will be used to secure the unit to the wall.

Step 8: Attach Door Hardware

Install the necessary fittings for the door, such as hinge plates or mounting points, onto the cabinet frame.

Step 9: Attach Hinges to Door

Attach the door hinges to the door itself. Ensure they are oriented correctly.

Step 10: Attach Legs

Turn the cabinet upside down or tilt it carefully. Attach the legs to the designated mounting points on the bottom panel using the provided brackets and screws.

Step 11: Stack Cabinets (Optional)

If building a taller unit, place another cabinet on top of the assembled one. Secure them together using the appropriate fittings, similar to Step 8.

Step 12: Attach Door Handle/Knob

Attach the door handle or knob to the pre-drilled holes on the door.

Step 13: Mount the Door

Attach the door to the cabinet by connecting the hinges to the mounting points installed in Step 8. Adjust the door for proper alignment and closure.

Wall Mounting Instructions

Crucial Step: Secure the assembled EKET unit to the wall using the provided wall attachment fittings. Follow these general guidelines:

• Assess your wall: Ensure the wall material is suitable and can support the weight of the cabinet and its contents.
• Use appropriate screws: Since wall materials vary (e.g., drywall, plaster, concrete, wood), screws for wall fixation are NOT included. Consult your local hardware store or a specialist for the correct screws and wall plugs for your specific wall type.
• Qualified Installation: Wall fixing must be performed by a qualified person to prevent injury or damage due to incorrect installation.
• Suspension Rail: If hanging the unit on a wall, use the designated suspension rail (sold separately at IKEA).

The diagrams illustrate the process of attaching the unit to the wall using the provided brackets and potentially a suspension rail.
