Safety Instructions

Weight Limit: Do not exceed maximum load per bin/shelf as specified.
Secure Mounting: Tighten all screws and brackets firmly. Periodically check for looseness.
Two-Person Job: Assembly and wall mounting may require two people to handle parts safely.

CAUTION! Keep small hardware away from children to prevent choking hazard.

Assembly Steps

Assemble the frame on a clean, flat surface before wall mounting.

Unpack: Lay out all parts and hardware. Verify against parts list.
Frame Assembly: Connect side panels to top/bottom pieces using provided screws. Do not overtighten.
Bracket Attachment: Attach mounting brackets to rear of frame at indicated positions.
Bin/Shelf Installation: Slide bins or shelves into frame slots. Ensure they sit securely.
Final Check: Ensure all connections are tight and frame is square.

Tip: Follow the step-by-step illustrations provided in the paper manual for visual guidance.

Wall Mounting

This is the most critical step for safety.

Locate Studs: Use stud finder to locate solid wood studs in wall. Mark center of studs with pencil.
Position Frame: Hold assembled frame against wall at desired height. Use level to ensure it is straight. Lightly mark bracket hole locations on wall through bracket holes.
Drill Pilot Holes: At marked locations, drill pilot holes into studs. If no stud, use included wall anchors and drill appropriate size hole.
Secure Brackets: Align brackets with holes. Insert screws through brackets into wall studs or anchors. Tighten securely.
Hang Frame: Lift frame and hook bracket slots onto mounted bracket heads. Ensure it is fully seated and does not wobble.
Final Secure: Some models include safety screws to secure frame to brackets from below. Install if provided.

WARNING! Mounting solely into drywall without studs or proper anchors may cause unit to fall. Always use appropriate hardware for your wall type.

Loading & Usage

Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across bins/shelves. Place heavier items at the bottom.
Bin Removal: To remove a bin, lift slightly and pull forward. To insert, align and push back until it clicks or rests securely.
Organizing: Use bins to categorize items (e.g., toys, craft supplies, tools).
Access: Ensure area in front of unit is clear for easy access to bins.

Note: Do not overload bins beyond their rim, as this may make them difficult to remove or cause spillage.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your TROFAST unit in good condition:

Cleaning: Wipe frame and bins with a damp cloth. Use mild soap if needed. Dry thoroughly.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or bleach on plastic bins or painted surfaces.
Periodic Inspection: Every few months, check tightness of all screws and brackets. Re-tighten if necessary.
Plastic Bin Care: Avoid exposing plastic bins to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading or brittleness.

CAUTION! Do not use excessive water when cleaning near electrical outlets or on wall surface behind unit.
