This document provides assembly instructions for the IKEA NORDKISA open wardrobe with a sliding door. It is essential to follow the assembly steps carefully to ensure stability. The most critical safety requirement is to anchor the furniture to the wall using the provided tip-over restraints to prevent serious or fatal crushing injuries.
Safety and warnings
- Wall anchoring: Always secure this furniture to the wall using the included tip-over restraints.
- Stability: Place the heaviest items in the lower sections.
- Child safety: Never allow children to climb or hang on the shelves, doors, or frame.
- Installation: Assembly should be performed by two people to avoid damage or injury.
Assembly and installation
The assembly process involves building the frame, installing the shelves, and attaching the sliding door mechanism. Ensure you have the necessary tools: a screwdriver, hammer, pencil, spirit level, and a drill with appropriate bits for your wall type (8mm for masonry, 3mm for wood).
- Assemble the side and internal frame sections using the provided dowels and screws.
- Connect the frame components to form the main structure.
- Install the shelves and the sliding door track.
- Mount the sliding door into the track.
- Once assembled, use a spirit level to ensure the unit is level.
- Mark the wall for the safety bracket, drill the holes, and secure the unit to the wall using the provided hardware.
Maintenance
Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. If the unit becomes unstable, re-check the wall anchoring.
