1
Check you have all the
components and tools listed on
pages 2 and 3.
Remove all fittings from the
plastic bags and separate them
into their groups.
Keep children and animals
away from the work area, small
parts could choke if swallowed.
Make sure you have enough
space to layout the parts before
starting.
Do not stand or put weight on
the product, this could cause
damage.
Assemble the item as close
to its final position (in the same
room) as possible.
Assemble on a soft level
surface to avoid damaging the
unit or your floor.
We do not
recommend the
use of power
drill/drivers for
inserting screws,
as this could damage the unit.
Only use hand screwdrivers.
Parts of the assembly will be
easier with 2 people.
Dispose of all packaging
carefully and responsibly.
This product has been produced
from natural timber; you may
notice some variation in the grain
and colour of different component
parts which is normal for furniture
produced using natural wood and
is not the result of any
manufacturing fault.
The product has been treated
with a wax and oil finish to
prevent dirt ingress and preserve
moisture.
On unpacking the
furniture you may notice an
odour due to this treatment;
this will disappear once the
furniture is unpacked and
assembled after a period of time.
This process may leave some
staining on the packaging
material; please take care to
ensure this does not transfer
to clothing or carpeted surfaces
during assembly.
Care and maintenance
Use an appropriate furniture
polish for natural wood
furniture and a dry cloth to
clean the product.
Avoid placing the furniture in
direct sunlight as this will cause
the timber to prematurely age.
From time to time check
that there are no loose
screws on this unit.
This product should not be
discarded with household
waste. Take to your local
authority waste disposal
centre.

Important note:
Important: When drilling into walls always
check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.
If plastic wall plugs
are supplied with your
product:
- these are only suitable for
use in masonry walls.
If you are in any doubt about
the correct wall plugs for
your wall, seek professional
advice.
Failure of the product due to
using incorrect fixings is the
responsibility of the installer.
Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used
are suitable for supporting your unit. Consult a qualifed
tradesperson if you are unsure.
Hints:
1: General rule: Always use a larger screw and wall plug
if you are not sure.
2: Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall
plug and hole size.
3: Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or
enlarge the hole.
4: Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic
tiles. Ensure wall plugs are inserted beyond the thickness of
the ceramic tiles to avoid the tiles splitting or cracking.
5: Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the
drilled hole.
Types of walls You can use one of the following types of wall plug if your
walls are made of brick, breeze block, concrete, stone or wood.
Generally aerated blocks should not
be used to support heavy loads, use
a specialist fitting in this case. For light
loads, general purpose wall plugs can
be used.
For use with plasterboard partitions or
hollow wooden doors.
For use with walls stuck with
plasterboard. The hammer fixing allows
it to be fixed to the wall rather than the
plasterboard. Always check the fixing
is secure to the retaining wall.
For use when attaching light loads on
to plasterboard partitions.
For use when fitting or supporting
heavy loads such as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat racks.
For use with heavier loads such as TV
& HiFi speakers and satelite dishes etc.
