Do not use power tools for the assembly of this product.

ASSEMBLY

• STEP 1. ASSEMBLE BASE
  Lay the Spanners (C1) on a soft, non-marring surface, like carpet. Attach the Legs (C2) to the Spanners (C1) using 8 Screws (H1) and Hex Wrench (T1). DO NOT fully tighten the screws yet.

• STEP 2. ATTACH BASE TO CABINET
  With help from another person, carefully position the Cabinet (C3) onto a layer of honeycomb packing material and orient it on its back as shown.
  Position the Base as shown and attach with 6 Screws (H2). With all screws started, tighten with Hex Wrench (T1).
  NOTE : The packing material creates finger space to lift the cabinet after attaching the base.

• STEP 3. ATTACH DRAWER PULLS
  With the help of another person, carefully turn the Chest onto its feet. Open the drawer one at a time, cut the ribbon off the drawer, and install the 5 Drawer Pulls (C4) using 10 Screws (H3). Tighten with Phillips Head Screwdriver (not included).
  NOTE : Drawers have an interlocking mechanism to prevent multiple drawers in a single column from being opened at the same time. This greatly reduces the risk of tip over.

• STEP 4. INSTALL KLEETS
  Install the KLEET (C5) to the back of the Cabinet using 2 Wood Screws (H4). Tighten with Phillips Head Screwdriver (not included).

• STEP 5. INSTALL ANCHOR STRAP & SECURE CABINET
  With help from another person, carefully walk the cabinet into the desired position against the wall.
  It is strongly recommended that you anchor your LINQ Dresser to the wall using the provided Anchor Strap (C6). Use painter’s tape to mark the upper left corner of the unit, as shown.
  With help from another person, carefully move the cabinet away from the wall. Measure and mark the wall as shown.
  Attach one end of the Anchor Strap (C6) to the wall at the marked location with an appropriate wall anchor and screw (not included).

FINE-TUNING

LEVEL CHEST
Once the unit is completely assembled and in its final position, adjust the levelers using Leveler Wrench (T2). Using a level (not provided), level your cabinet first side to side and then front to back. If your cabinet is on carpeting, check your front to back level after loading the cabinet and opening the heaviest drawers. This will ensure the cabinet remains level during operation and reduce the risk of tip-over.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Your BDI furniture has been constructed with the finest materials, carefully manufactured, and designed to last a lifetime. Regular furniture care will prolong your enjoyment and keep it looking its best. Here are some general tips for taking care of BDI furniture. Your surfaces may vary.

• GLASS
  Glass surfaces are maintained using household glass cleaner and a paper towel or cloth.

• SATIN-ETCHED GLASS
  This uniquely smooth-to-the-touch glass surface can be regularly maintained using household glass cleaner and a paper towel or cloth.
  A ‘Magic Eraser’ removes minor scratches or scuffs not eliminated using a paper towel or cloth. ‘Magic Eraser’ is a melamine foam product available at any grocery store or home improvement center. Dampen the entire glass surface and the Magic Eraser, then rub the whole surface in broad, even strokes using moderate pressure. Clean and dry the surface with a paper towel. Check for results and repeat as necessary. Any scratches or scuffing not eliminated by one of the above methods can often be addressed by ‘refreshing’ the glass. This process should not be required more than once per 6–12 months. See this brief video for the simple method: www.bdiusa.com/glass

• WOOD
  Wood surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. Do not use glass cleaner on wood. If moisture remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser may be used, but wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface with a cloth.
  BDI’s wood finishes feature natural hardwood solids and veneers. Wood is a product of nature and— unlike man-made materials that can be manufactured to strict and consistent specifications—has natural imperfections that are part of its appeal and character. Every piece of wood differs from every other, even when coming from the very same tree. As such, grain, texture, and tone variation should be expected from one panel or piece of furniture to the next.
  While BDI’s stained wood finishes are stable in tone & appearance, all finishes are subject to some degree of discoloration with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Please avoid positioning your BDI cabinet in any area with ample direct sunlight. To learn more about the features of natural wood, visit www.bdiusa.com/wood

• METAL, PORCELAIN, & PAINTED SURFACES
  Surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. If moisture remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser may be used, but be sure to wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface with a cloth.
