A few important pointers before you start:
• Please read the instructions right through before you start, and check that all the
components have been included in the pack; we nd separating all the hardware
into piles makes it easier to be sure that everything is present and correct.
• Make sure you have the right tools.Allen keys are provided if required, but screw
drivers and other tools are not. You’ll nd details of the tools you need at the
beginning of the instructions.
• It’s a good idea to build the unit in the room where you are going to be using it, to
avoid the need to move it after it’s been assembled.
• Do not throw away any packing materials until assembly is complete, just in case
you accidentally discard smaller parts and hardware.
