Installing the base cabinets/frames

Once you are done with the installation of the wall
cabinets you move on to the base cabinets. Again,
start from the corner of the room and place the cabi-
net on the supporting wooden strip. If you build a line
kitchen, make sure you leave some space between the
wall and the cabinet to a allow for doors or drawers to
open properly.
If you build a corner base solution with a 40 cm door,
place the cabinet 268 mm from the wall (A). If you
build it with a 60 cm door, place the cabinet 468 mm
from the wall (A). In both cases, the adjacent cabinet
is placed 688 mm from the wall (B).
As you proceed with the next cabinet, level and align
the two cabinets by using a clamp. Use the screws
provided to attach the adjacent cabinets.
To install a cabinet after the dishwasher niche, make
sure the spirit level reaches both cabinets at the
front and at the back of the cabinets. Make sure the
distance at the front and back of the niche remains
60 cm. Once you have the correct alignment, secure
the cabinet to the wall.

If you have a corner kitchen, you build the corner base
solution with a 80 cm base cabinet in combination with
the ENHET corner panel. For this solution, follow the
assembly instruction included with the ENHET corner
panel.
Note: ENHET open frames can't be used under a sink,
built-in hob or for a built-in oven.
Make sure that the corner panel and the front edge
of the adjacent cabinet align.
When you reach the place where you want your
sink and tap, use the designated ENHET cabinet
for sink, which has a construction that allows for
pipes coming from either the wall or the floor. See
assembly instructions for how to build the different
configurations.
When you install an open base frame, you don't use
a supporting strip. Instead, align the top of the open
frame with the top of the adjacent cabinet before
you fix the frame to the wall.
Fix the cabinet using the appropriate type and
length of screw. (Throughout the installation process
you may need to loosen the screws a bit in order
to make smaller adjustments when aligning the
cabinets and frames.)
The dishwasher, normally placed next to the sink
cabinet, stands on its own base so here there is no
need for a supporting strip. Leave a 60 cm wide gap
between the sink cabinet and the next cabinet.
Once all your base cabinets are installed, check that
they are level and that you are happy with the result,
before securing them by tightening the screws a
final time.
