Get Organized - IKEA Akurum kitchen Installation Manual

Being well-organized makes any job easier. After
your kitchen is delivered, double check the pack-
ages you received against the packing list to
make sure everything is there. Then, sort the
packages into cabinet groups according to their
labels, preferably in a room other than the
kitchen.
Using the right fixing hardware
Plaster, brick or drywall? Because there are
many different types of wall, fixing hardware is
not supplied with your cabinets. Most hardware
stores stock appropriate fixing screws and heavy
duty anchors for each type of wall.
Finding a safe spot for the countertop:
If you purchased a solid wood countertop from
IKEA, be sure to store it in or near the kitchen.
This allows it to adjust to room temperature.

Step 2. Get
organized
Assembling wall cabinets
Follow the instructions included in each package
to assemble the wall cabinets, since you'll most
likely be installing these first. Don't put on
doors, shelves, knobs or handles just yet.
Assembling base and high cabinets
Next, assemble base cabinets, drawers and high
cabinets, following the enclosed instructions.
Hint: it's easier to screw the runners for drawers
or pull-out baskets on the inside walls of the
base and high cabinets before assembling the
cabinets themselves.
Place the cabinets in order
Arrange the cabinets into the order in which you
will be installing them so that you can quickly
find the right cabinet when you need it.
