Wall Mounting

CRITICAL: This step is mandatory to prevent tipping and serious injury.

Locate studs: Use a stud finder to locate solid wooden studs or masonry in your wall. Mark their center with a pencil.
Position bracket: Hold the wall mounting bracket (F) against the wall, level with the top inside of the assembled cabinet. Ensure bracket holes align with marked studs.
Secure bracket: Drill pilot holes into studs. Screw the bracket firmly to the wall using the provided screws.
Hang cabinet: With help, lift the cabinet and hook it onto the wall bracket. You should hear a click or feel it lock into place.
Secure cabinet: Use the additional safety screws provided to secure the cabinet back to the bracket from the inside.
Test stability: Gently pull on the cabinet to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not move.

WARNING! If you cannot mount into solid studs/masonry, you must use appropriate wall anchors rated for the cabinet's weight. Consult a professional if unsure.

Using the Cabinet

Loading: Distribute weight evenly on shelves. Do not exceed the maximum load of 11 lbs (5 kg) per shelf.
Door: Open and close gently using the handle. The door features a soft-closing hinge.
Adjustment: Shelves are fixed in this model. Door hinge tension can be adjusted with a Phillips screwdriver if needed.
Combination: This cabinet can be combined with other EKET units horizontally or vertically using connecting hardware (sold separately).

Care & Maintenance

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Wipe dry immediately.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as they will damage the surface. Avoid excessive moisture.
