FURNITURE TIPPING RESTRAINT
YOUNG CHILDREN MAY BE INJURED BY TIPPING FURNITURE AND YOU
MUST USE THIS TIPPING RESTRAINT TO ATTACH THIS UNIT TO THE WALL,
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND/OR INJURIES.
THIS HARDWARE MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED (FOLLOW ALL
DIRECTIONS IN ORDER ON THIS INSTRUCTIONS), TO PROVIDE PROTECTION
AGAINST THE UNEXPECTED TIPPING OF FURNITURE DUE TO IMPROPER USE.
THIS PRODUCT IS ONLY A DETERRENT. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
PROPER ADULT SUPERVISION. USE OF TIP-OVER RESTRAINTS MAY ONLY
REDUCE, BUT NOT ELIMINATE, THE RISK OF TIP-OVER.
Children have died from furniture tipover.

 NEVER put a TV on this product.
 NEVER allow children to stand, climb or hang
on drawers, doors, or shelves.

IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ
Optional Stacking Configuration
NOTE: The mending plates provided an important safeguard against accidents. Make sure you attach
the provided mending plates to the units with the screws to prevent the units from falling over. If you
buy more than one unit, the stacking configuration can be available. Or you can arrange the multiple
bookcases side-by-side to create a larger storage area.
12. Repeat the same procedure to form two sections: Base and Hutch. DO NOT install the bottom supports
(H) to the Hutch.
13. Now ask for assistance from another adult to stack the assemble Hutch onto the base properly. Make
sure its center and side edges are flush with each other.
14. Using the mending plate (9) as a template, mark the mounting hole locations at the center side of the
adjacent panels (A and D), as shown. With an electric dill and 1/16” drill bit (not included), carefully
drill into the marked location about 1/2” deep. Make sure you do not crack the side edges.

Care and Maintenance
 Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
 Gently rub the surface with a soft dry cloth, soft damp cloth, or soft damp cloth with neutral detergent, and
then dry it well.
 Strong Alkaline detergents or acidic detergents are not recommended to use.
 Sponges containing abrasive agents or fibers are not recommended to use.
 Use of furniture polish is not necessary. Should you choose to use polish, test first in an inconspicuous area.
 Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage the finish.
 Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
 Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
 Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft, clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid rubbing.
 Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may create
spotting within the furniture finish.
 In the event that your furniture is stained or otherwise damaged during use, we recommend that you call a
professional to repair your furniture.
 Check bolts/screws periodically and tighten them if necessary.
Further advice about wood furniture care
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature and humidity
changes can cause fading, warping, shrinking and splitting of wood. It is advised to keep furniture away from
direct sunlight as sun may damage the finish.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Following these important and helpful
tips will enhance your furniture as it ages.
We hope you enjoy your purchase for many years.
Thank you for your purchase!

TROUSSE ANTIBASCULE
LES JEUNES ENFANTS PEUVENT ÊTRE BLESSÉS PAR UN MEUBLE QUI TOMBE
ET LA TROUSSE ANTIBASCULE DOIT ÊTRE UTILISÉE POUR FIXER L’UNITÉ
AU MUR AFIN DE PRÉVENIR LES ACCIDENTS ET LES BLESSURES.
CE DISPOSITIF DOIT ÊTRE INSTALLÉ CORRECTEMENT (SUIVRE TOUTES LES
DIRECTIVES DANS L’ORDRE) AFIN D’OFFRIR UNE PROTECTION CONTRE LA
CHUTE INATTENDUE DU MEUBLE SUITE À UNE UTILISATION INADÉQUATE.
CE PRODUIT SERT DE DISSUASIF SEULEMENT ET NE REMPLACE PAR UNE
SUPERVISION ADULTE ADÉQUATE. L’UTILISATION DE LA TROUSSE
ANTIBASCULE NE PEUT QUE RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE CHUTE MAIS SANS
L’ÉLIMINER.
 Des enfants sont décédés à cause du basculement
du meuble. Pour réduire le risque de la chute du
meuble:
 TOUJOURS installer la quincaillerie antibasculement
fournie.
 NE JAMAIS mettre un téléviseur sur ce produit.

ni s’accrocher sur les tiroirs, les portes ou les tablettes.
 NE JAMAIS ouvrir plus d’un tiroir à la fois.
 Placer les articles les plus lourds sur les tiroirs inférieurs.
L’utilisation des trousses antibascules peut
seulement réduire le risque de chute, sans
toutefois l’éliminer.
