To secure the IKEA MALM Chest of 4 Drawers to the wall using tip-over restraints, please follow these steps:
1. Start by identifying the wall material. Different wall materials require different types of fasteners. Make sure you have the appropriate hardware for your specific wall type.
2. Locate the two holes on the back of the chest of drawers near the top. These holes are specifically designed for attaching the tip-over restraints.
3. Measure the distance between the holes and mark the corresponding spots on the wall. Ensure the marks are level and aligned with each other.
4. Drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked spots. The size of the pilot holes should match the size of the wall fasteners you are using.
5. Insert the wall fasteners into the pilot holes. Make sure they are securely attached to the wall.
6. Attach the tip-over restraints to the wall fasteners using screws or other provided hardware. Follow the specific instructions provided with the tip-over restraints for proper installation.
7. Once the tip-over restraints are securely attached to the wall, connect the other end of the restraints to the holes on the back of the chest of drawers. Use the provided screws or hardware to secure the restraints to the chest of drawers.
8. Ensure that the tip-over restraints are tightened properly and that the chest of drawers is securely anchored to the wall.
By following these steps and properly securing the MALM Chest of 4 Drawers to the wall using tip-over restraints, you can significantly reduce the risk of furniture tip-over and ensure the safety of yourself and others.
