PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY NOTICE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR MODULES.
Safety notice
Your safety is a priority for coquo. It is important to always follow the installation instructions and comply with the safety warnings included in your module's packaging. These documents are also available free of charge at coquo.ca.
WARNING
Modules that are not secured to the wall using safety fasteners and anchors pose a risk of tipping and/or falling, which could cause accidents and/or serious injury. To prevent a module from tipping over, it is essential to use safety fasteners and anchors to permanently secure the module to the wall. Safety fasteners are included in the package. However, if the fasteners are missing or you have misplaced them, contact a modular specialist, who will be happy to send you the necessary fasteners free of charge. Anchors for safety fasteners are not included in the package, as their selection depends on the type of wall to which the modules are attached. Feel free to ask your hardware store for advice on the anchors that are right for your type of wall.
The cabinets must not be used for climbing or to support weights exceeding the maximum limit specified for each module.
Safety recommendation: Prevent children from climbing or hanging on drawers, shelves, doors, or any other parts of the furniture.
Safety notice
If your configuration includes a combination of several modules, it is essential to secure the modules with the safety fasteners provided for this purpose. However, if the fasteners are missing or you have misplaced them, contact a modular specialist, who will be happy to send you the necessary fasteners free of charge. Once the modules are secured together, they must also be fastened to the wall using the safety fasteners.

Each drawer is designed to hold a maximum weight of 50 pounds (22 kg). Place heavier items in the bottom drawer, when applicable. The oak veneer provides a solid and sturdy surface, but some kitchen accessories may leave a deposit or scratch it.
-
The wooden structure of the modules must not be used for climbing or to support weights exceeding the maximum limit specified for each piece of furniture.

The cabinet is designed to support a maximum weight of 100 pounds (45 kg), including the weight of the countertop. Anchoring spaces already attached to the cabinet allow a wooden countertop to be screwed into place. To secure a stone countertop or other material that does not allow the use of screws, the use of adhesive is essential. Countertops are not included.
-
It is essential to use the metal feet provided in your package to level the module. The adjustable metal feet provide greater stability. They cannot be replaced by other types of feet (e.g., casters). Adding felt pads under the feet is not recommended and could compromise the stability of the module. To ensure the stability of the module, screw in the 4 feet until the screw threads are no longer visible. The metal feet may scratch your floor when moving the modules. With the weight of the modules, counters, and accessories, the feet may also leave marks on the floor over time.
