A guide to wall mounting and fixings
Warning
Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tipping over.
To prevent this furniture from tipping over it must be permanantly fixed to the wall.
Wall fixing screws are not included, since different wall materials require different types of screws / fixings.
Please ensure you use the correct screws / fixings for your type of walls and seek professional advice if you
are not sure.
Failure of the product due to incorrect fixings is the responsibility of the installer.
Important: When drilling into the walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.
1. General Purpose wall plug
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.
6. Shield Anchor wall plug - Heavy loads
For use with heavier loads such asTV and Hi-Fi speakers and satellite dishes
etc.
5. Hammer Fixing wall plug
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.
4. Cavity Fixing - Heavy Duty wall plug
For use when fitting or supporting heavy loads such as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat racks.
3. Cavity Fixing wall plug
For use with plasterboard partitions or hollow wooden doors.
2. Plasterboard wall plug
For use when attaching light loads on to plasterboard partitions.
Types of walls
You can use one of the following types of wall plug if your walls are made of
brick, breezeblock, concrete, stone or wood.
Safety: Periodically check all fittings and wall fixings to ensure they
have not come loose and retighten as necessary.

Care and maintenance
Wood Furniture
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way it is cut - for example, the ‘medullary ray’ which
can appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber - these are just characteristics of the natural beauty
of the wood. Some furniture is also deliberately aged and rustic.
All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade from items
that have been previously purchased.
How to care for your wood furniture
Furniture with hard lacquer, wax polish or painted surface should be dusted with a dry cloth.When using the
surface for serving food and drinks it is best to use protective mats and coasters. Spillages should be wiped up as
soon as possible.
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s surface by building up
over time. Use of cleaning materials containing abrasive compounds, acidic or caustic reagents and any bleaches
containing oxidising reagents should be avoided as prolonged use may damage the lacquer surface.Wipe up spills
immediately. If sticky marks occur on the surface they can be removed with a dilute solution of warm soapy water.
The offending area should be rubbed lightly and then completely dried immediately afterwards, before replacing
any mats etc.
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to heat
sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused by central
heating can cause damage such as warping.
Safety Instructions
Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it. Please take care when handling or moving the furniture as
careless handling may cause damage or injury. No liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by
incorrectly installed furniture.
