Main risks

• Tipping of the unit when multiple drawers are opened at the same time, when climbing, or due to an unevenly distributed load.
• Finger entrapment in the runners or between the drawer front and the frame when closing.
• Drawers falling out if pulled beyond their stop, or when the stops are damaged or missing.
• Injury from heavy or unstable objects placed on the top.
• Injuries when moving or assembling the chest of drawers due to its weight and bulk.
• Instability on uneven floors, or if it is tall or narrow and not anchored.

Safe use

• Anchor the chest of drawers to the wall with the system supplied or recommended by the manufacturer, and check stability before use.
• Place it on a flat, level surface; adjust the feet if fitted.
• Place heavier items in the lower drawers and distribute the load evenly; do not exceed the capacity stated by the manufacturer.
• Open only one drawer at a time and close it fully after use.
• Prevent children from climbing on or hanging from the drawers; consider child safety stops or locks if necessary.
• On the top, place only stable objects; position heavy items centred and towards the back, and avoid unsecured televisions.
• Keep hands away from the runners when closing; close gently, do not slam.
• During assembly, follow the instructions, use all the fixings, and keep small parts and packaging out of the reach of children.

Storage and maintenance

• Clean with a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp; avoid abrasives and solvents. Wipe up any spills immediately.
• Periodically check screws, handles, runners and anchors; retighten when necessary and replace damaged parts before use.
• Keep the chest of drawers away from direct moisture, heat sources and strong sunlight that may warp or discolour.
• To move it, empty the drawers and, if possible, remove or secure them; carry with two people and protect the corners.
• After unpacking and assembly, ventilate the room if you notice a new odour.
