Step by step
1. Make sure you have all pieces.
2. The shelf is easiest assembled with its back to the oor,
before it is lifted into place.
3. Start by laying out the side and middle pieces in front of
you. Put wooden dowels E and cam dowel screws F on
the inside of the side pieces and both sides of the middle
pieces.
4. Low: Get the top and bottom pieces. Start by assemling
the unit from its left. Push the top and bottom piece (40 or
80 cm wide depending on your layout) together with the
left side. Put cam locks G in the top and bottom pieces.
The arrow on the cam lock should be pointing towards the
cam dowel screw. Turn the cam lock using a screwdri-
ver ca 180 degrees until it grips and locks the cam dowel
screw. The top should be mounted with the cam locks
facing up and the bottom with them facing down.

Start by assemling the unit from its left. Push the top,
bottom and shelf (40 or 80 cm wide depending on your
layout) together with the left side. Put cam locks G in the
top, bottom and shelf pieces. The arrow on the cam lock
should be pointing towards the cam dowel screw. Turn
the cam lock using a screwdriver ca 180 degrees until it
grips and lock the cam dowel screw. The top should be
mounted with the cam locks facing up and the bottom
and the xed shelf with the cam locks facing down.
6. If the unit is one section wide, push the right side together
with the rest of the frame. Fixate with cam locks.
7. If the unit has more than one section, push a middle piece
together with the rest of the frame. Fixate with cam locks.
Please note the pre drilled holes for hinges should be at
the front. Continue adding the sections from left to right.
Finish with the right side piece.
8. Low: Mount the decorative top. Place the decorative top
with the side you want visible facing down on the oor.
Place the unit upside down on top of the decorative top.
Measure all sides to get it in the middle. Fasten with screw
B in pre drilled countersunk holes.
9. Plinth: Place wooden dowels E in the back of the plinth in
the holes that match the bottom piece. The G.A.D label
should be facing forward. Push the plinth into place at the
front of the frame (to make room for a skirting board at
the back). Fasten with screw A.
10. Assemble the legs: Screw the legs to the crossbars by
placing wooden dowels E and Cam dowel screw F in the
legs. Push together the legs and the crossbars. Place Cam
lock G in the crossbars and tighten. Make sure the G.A.D
lable is at the front right.
Please observe that a unit with more than one section of
the same with (40 or 80 cm) may have crossbars of dif-
ferent lenght. Side sections have slightly shorter crossbars
than a middle section.
Make sure the legs line up with side and middle pieces.
Put wooden dowels E in the top of the assembled leg-”fra-
me” where the holes line up with the ones in the bottom
piece. Push the parts together and screw it in place using
screw A.
11. Mounting the back piece: Put the unit on the oor with
its back facing up. Place the back piece on the unit and
make sure it lines up with the sides and the bottom. The
side with the pencil lines should be turned up (to the
back). Nail the back piece in place using nails D along the
pencil lines.

Maintenance
The unit is made from solid birch or oak. The solid wood has
a natural look and high quality that makes your unit last for a
very long time. Wood is a natural material that changes with
season. Sometimes it is easy to move shelves and drawers
and sometimes it can be tougher. It depends on the season
and the humidity and will change when the weather changes.
The wood is oiled with two coats as standard and is well
protected on delivery. A piece of furniture made from solid
wood should be maintained regularly to retain its protection
and functions. We recommend that you treat your unit about
six months after purchase with the oil enclosed and thereafter
when the wood feels or looks dry. After a few years the need
for more oil will reduce.
A soap treated piece of furniture also needs maintenance.
Pour a litre of tepid water into a container and put in a table
spoon of soapakes. Whisk and stir until the soapakes are
dissolved. Dip a rag or sponge in the soapy water and coat
the wood. Stains can be removed with a very ne sand paper
before applying the soap. Soap mix that is left over can be
kept in a container with lid.
Clean the shelf with a dry or moist rag. Many modern rags
clean perfectly with just water, otherwise add a drop of liquid
soap to your water. To remove tough stains or wash the glass
doors bile soap is the best choice for both unit and environ-
ment.
