Safety Information
Read all instructions before assembly. Ensure a safe working environment.
- Two-person job: Assembly requires at least two adults due to size and weight.
- Stable surface: Assemble on a clean, flat, protected surface to avoid scratches.
- Wall mounting is mandatory: To prevent tipping, the wardrobe MUST be securely attached to the wall using the provided brackets and screws into solid wall material (stud or masonry).
- Tool safety: Use appropriate tools (included Allen key, screwdriver). Keep away from children.
WARNING! Serious injury or death can result from tipping furniture. Always secure this wardrobe to the wall.
Assembly Preparation
Gather parts and tools. Clear assembly area.
- Unpack all boxes and sort parts according to the list.
- Check for damage. Contact IKEA if any part is missing or defective.
- Use the included tools. A cordless screwdriver (set to low torque) can be helpful but is not required.
- Identify the pre-drilled holes in panels (marked with letters/numbers matching instructions).
Tip: Lay out large panels on the cardboard packaging to protect floors and finishes.
Step-by-Step Assembly
Follow numerical steps in the instruction booklet. Key assembly sequence:
- Frame Construction: Connect side panels (A, B) to bottom panel (D) using cam locks and dowels. Attach top panel (C).
- Back Panel Attachment: Secure back panel sections (E) to the frame using provided screws. This provides rigidity.
- Internal Fittings: Insert the clothes rail (I) supports at the marked height. Install the rail.
- Shelf Installation: Place shelf supports (pins) into the side panels at desired heights. Rest shelves (H) on the supports.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten cam locks. Hand-tighten until snug; overtightening can strip the mechanism.
Mounting to Wall
This step is critical for safety.
- Position the assembled wardrobe in its final location, ensuring it is level and flush against the wall.
- Locate solid wall studs or use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (brick, drywall, etc.).
- Attach the provided wall brackets to the inside top of the wardrobe back panel as indicated.
- Mark drill holes on the wall through the bracket holes. Drill and insert wall plugs if needed.
- Secure the wardrobe to the wall with the long screws provided, ensuring they are driven firmly into a solid support.
- Gently test for stability by pulling forward on the top. It should not move or tip.
WARNING! If you cannot secure it to a solid wall structure, do not use the wardrobe. Contact a professional.
Door Installation & Adjustment
Installing the sliding doors (F, G).
- Lift the outer door (F) and hook the top wheels into the rear track of the top rail. Let the door hang.
- Lift the bottom of the door and guide the bottom guide into the front channel of the bottom rail.
- Repeat for the inner door (G), placing its top wheels in the front track.
- Adjustment: Use the Allen key to adjust the height and alignment screws at the top of each door. Turn clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower. Doors should glide smoothly without rubbing or catching.
- Adjust the door stoppers at the ends of the tracks to prevent doors from sliding off.
Tip: Adjust doors when the wardrobe is completely empty for easiest handling.
Interior Configuration
The interior is customizable to suit your storage needs.
- Shelves: Shelf supports can be placed in pre-drilled holes at various heights. Distribute weight evenly.
- Clothes Rail: Fixed at a standard height suitable for hanging garments. Ensure it is securely seated in both supports.
- Optional Accessories: IKEA offers drawer units, shoe racks, and baskets compatible with TYSSEDAL. Follow their separate instructions for installation inside the frame.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum load ratings: Shelves: 33 lbs (15 kg) each. Clothes rail: 66 lbs (30 kg).
Care & Maintenance
Proper care ensures longevity.
- Cleaning: Wipe exterior and doors with a damp, soft cloth. Dry immediately. For interior, use a dry cloth to dust.
- Door Tracks: Keep bottom and top tracks clean and free of debris. Vacuum gently if needed.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check that all screws and cam locks are tight, especially after moving.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. Avoid excessive moisture.
CAUTION! Never climb on or hang excessive weight from the doors, shelves, or rail.
