7. Always leave the dresser clean and dry. Wipe away any spillage straight away. The dresser can be cleaned with a

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE OF THE WALL STRAP
1THE WALL STRAP IS ONLY INTENDED TO BE USED WITH THE MAMAS & PAPAS PRODUCT THAT IT IS
SUPPLIED WITH.
2 Never attempt to modify or change the wall strap in any way. Never use any other fittings for attaching the
wall strap to your furniture than those supplied.
3 Never use the screw provided to attach the wall strap to the wall.
NO WALL ATTACHMENT FITTINGS ARE SUPPLIED. This is because the type of fittings required to attach the
wall strap to the chosen wall is determined by the walls composition.
If you are in any doubt about the correct type of fittings to use when attaching your wall strap, consult
a professional before attempting to fix it to the wall.
4The wall strap must not be used to replace any other fitting supplied with your piece of furniture.
5 Furniture falling over is generally due to the surface the furniture is placed on. A warped floor or wall-to-wall
carpeting will enable the furniture to rock, so greatly increasing the potential for the furniture to fall. If the
furniture is placed on a flat level wood or tiled floor the risk is reduced, but we still recommend the wall
strap is fitted.
