The step-by-step guide

Installing your new ENHET kitchen correctly
This brochure is your guide to preparing and install-
ing your new kitchen yourself. Inside you'll find clear
steps to follow as well as useful tips and ideas. Use this
guide along with your IKEA assembly instructions to
make sure your kitchen is installed in the right way.
Before you begin
Go through this brochure before you begin to see
what stages are involved in putting in your new
kitchen and to organise what tools you'll need.
To make sure you have everything for your new kitch-
en, compare the packages and parts you have at home
against the order list and the freight list. You should
only dismantle your old kitchen when you have all your
new parts and appliances.
Your kitchen parts and worktop should be stored in-
doors, with normal room temperature and humidity.

Before you remove your old kitchen you need to make
sure that your electricity, gas and water is shut off.
Use a qualified professional to disconnect and connect
your gas, water and electricity.
You can do it yourself but you don't have to
Although our kitchens are designed to be as simple as
possible for you to assemble and install yourself, it is
important to consider all aspects of a kitchen renova-
tion, where some key operations, such as safeguarding
a proper wall cabinet installation or cutting your work-
top, require more skill and experience than others.
We can offer you services ranging from planning and
delivery to complete kitchen installations. For more
details see the back page of this guide, kitchen section
of IKEA.gr or contact your local IKEA store.
