Tools required (not provided): Phillips screwdriver, stud finder, tape measure, pencil, power drill and 1/8’’
drill bit.
11. Position the assembled tower at the desired location against a wall. If necessary, adjust the pre-attached
Floor Levelers on the bottom front of the Side Frames (A and B) to level the unit.
12. Now, follow the instructions printed on the plastic bag containing the Tipping Restraint Hardware to attach
the tip-over restraint to the Spine (H) and the wall.
NOTE: The tipping restraint hardware included is for wooden stud wall construction. It must be attached
to a wall stud. Depending upon your wall construction, different anchor hardware maybe required. Please
contact your local hardware store for assistance. Young children can be seriously injured by tipping
furniture. You must install the Tipping Restraint Hardware with the unit to prevent the unit from tipping,
causing any accidents or damage. The tipping restraints are intended only as a deterrent, they are not a
substitute for proper adult supervision. The tipping restraints are not earthquake restraints. If you wish to
add the extra security of earthquake restraints, they must be purchased and installed separately.

Care and Maintenance
 For everyday cleaning, chrome, brass, aluminum, and painted metal surfaces can be kept looking their best
by wiping with a slightly damp, soft cotton cloth, or vacuum cleaner brush.
 If soiled, wipe with clean sponge or cloth wrung out of water. Wipe dry with cloth or paper towel to avoid
water spots.
 Do not use any harsh abrasives or chemicals to clean any metal surfaces as it may damage the protective
coating.
 Metal will rust if the finish is scratched or if your furniture is exposed to excessive humidity, particularly in
salt water locations.
 Most metal furniture has a protective coating to prevent rust, however rust may occur if the finish is marred
or wears away over time.
 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 Metal Furniture Care
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Continual exposure to damp and wet
environments can cause corrosion. It is advised to keep furniture away from direct sunlight as it may damage
the finish. Indoor furniture is not recommended for outdoor use.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Following these important and helpful
