IKEA EKET Assembly and Safety Instructions

Safety Warning: Tip-Over Hazard

WARNING: Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over. 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.
