Product Overview
The IKEA PAX wardrobe is a modular storage solution designed for home organization. This manual provides instructions for assembling the 175x58x201 cm frame. The system requires careful assembly to ensure structural integrity and safety.
Safety and Stability
Warning: Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over. To prevent this, the wardrobe must be permanently fixed to the wall using the included wall attachment devices. Different wall materials require different types of fixing devices; always use screws and plugs suitable for the walls in your home. If you are uncertain about the appropriate hardware, contact your local specialized dealer.

Assembly Requirements
Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a clear, flat workspace. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft surface, such as a rug, to prevent damage to the panels. Two people are required for the assembly process to safely lift and position the frame. Required tools include a screwdriver, a hammer, a spirit level, and a power drill with a 5 mm (1/4") bit.

Assembly Steps
- Preparation: Organize all hardware components and panels. Verify all parts against the inventory list provided in the manual.
- Frame Construction: Insert dowels and cam screws into the designated panels. Connect the side panels to the base and top sections using the provided cam locks. Ensure all locks are fully tightened.
- Back Panel Installation: Slide the back panel into the grooves of the frame. Ensure it is fully seated before securing the final structural components.
- Final Assembly: Once the frame is square, use the hammer to secure the back panel and finalize the structural connections.
Maintenance and Care
Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Periodically check all assembly fastenings to ensure they are properly tightened and re-tighten if necessary. Do not overload the shelves or hanging rails beyond their weight capacity.
Disposal
When the product reaches the end of its life, please follow local regulations for furniture disposal and recycling. Many components can be recycled; check with your local waste management facility for guidance on separating materials.
