NOTE: Ensure that the slot in the Back Panel (Top) is toward
the upper edge when attached to the dresser frame.
When fitting the Back Panels, push into the corner so that the
side and top edges contact the rebate evenly all the way
around the frame of the dresser. This will ensure that the

parts.
Safety notes
Warning: Do not leave your child unattended.
Keep children clear during assembly as pack contains small parts which may present a
choking hazard.
All assembly fixings should always be tightened properly. Care should be taken that no
screws are loose because a child could trap parts of their body, or clothing (e.g. strings,
necklaces, ribbons, dummies, etc) which could pose a risk of strangulation.

Be aware of the risks of open fires and other such sources of strong heat, such as electric
bar fires, gas fires, etc. in the near vicinity of the dresser.
Ensure that the wall strap is used to securely attach the dresser to the wall to prevent
tipping.
Do not use the changing unit if any of the parts are broken, torn or missing.
Any additional or replacement parts can only be obtained from the manufacturer or the
distributer.
This changing unit complies with BSEN 12221:2008 +A1:2013.
