Warranty LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY WHAT IS COVERED The manufacturer (“Manufacturer”) warrants its parts and products to be free of substantial defects in materials and workmanship from the original date of purchase under normal home use. This warranty is offered only to the original consumer purchaser and may not be transferred.
Pre-installation BEFORE YOU START: CHECK YOUR ORDER Make sure the product label on each carton matches the product numbers on your order and project plan. Contact Hampton Bay Customer Service if there are any damaged, missing, or incorrect cabinets. Do not install if damaged or parts are missing. READ THIS ENTIRE GUIDE Before starting the installation, read this entire guide to familiarize yourself with the precautions for installing cabinetry.
Pre-installation (continued) DRY FIT: Perform the dry fit of cabinets after you have determined the high point of the floor (see Installation Requirements). With the cabinets in place, you can see how important the Base Cabinet Top Level Line is. When installed, all base cabinet tops should match this line exactly. IMPORTANT: If any cabinet is above the Base Cabinet Top Level Line, then the high point is not correct.
Pre-installation (continued) INSTALLING WALL CABINETS Whether you start at a corner or an end, the general approach with wall cabinet installation is to: 1. Mark on the back of the cabinet where the cabinet will line up with the wall studs (see further instructions page 13). 2. Predrill the hang rails at the stud locations 3. Position the cabinet with a support 4. Loosely attach the cabinet to the wall (or ceiling for peninsulas) 5. Shim and level 6. Attach the face frames together 7.
Installation Requirements (continued) DOOR, DRAWER, & SHELF REMOVAL Remove doors, drawers, and roll-out trays so they aren’t in the way during installation. Removal also makes the cabinets lighter to move. Label each piece with masking tape so you know where to reinstall each piece. Store them face to face to avoid damage. Remove the screws on the door hinges where they attach to the face frame. Pull drawers and roll-out trays out to the stop, lift the front, then pull straight out.
Installation Requirements (continued) HIGH POINT LEVEL LINE Measure out 20-7/8" from the wall (where the base cabinets toekick line will be) and snap a line on the floor parallel to the wall. To find the highest point on the floor, place one end of a straight 2 x 4 at the end of the cabinet run. Place a carpenter’s level on top and check the bubble. Raise either end of the 2 x 4 until it is level. Mark the floor at the end that makes contact with he floor. This is the high point.
Installation 1 2 OUTLINE ON FLOOR AND WALLS o Measure 19-1/2" up from the Base Cabinet Top Level Line and snap a level line on the wall. This is the Bottom of Wall Cabinet Level Line. o Typical wall construction places wall studs on 16" centers. This means that every 16" you have the center of a 2 x 4 wall stud to support your cabinets. o Measure 30", 36" or 42" up from the Bottom of Wall Cabinet Level Line (depending on the height of your wall cabinets). Snap a level line on the wall.
using the same process as done for finding the high spot on the floor. Snap a level line. This will be the Wall Cabinet Top Level Line. Installation 3 Measure down 30", 36" or 42" (the height of your wall cabinets) to confirm the distance between the Wall Cabinet Bottom Level Line and the Base Cabinet Top Level Line.
Installation mb;5 6 FRAME-TO-FRAME ATTACHMENT ATTACHMENT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS o All cabinet frames must be fastened to adjacent cabinet frame, fillers, side wall, or ceiling. o On a 1/8" drill bit, set tape or drill depth gauge at 2-1/2". evel Line o Before drilling face frames, recheck for level and that alignment s). Place amp between face frames is exact.
Installation 7 ATTACHMENT TO WALL (CONTINUED) ATTACHMENT TO WALL o On base cabinets, don’t attach cabinets to the wall until all cabinet Face Frames are fastened together. Re-check each cabinet for level front to back and side to side. Check each front for plumb. Add shims if there is any space between cabinet and wall to avoid pulling the cabinet out of square. INSTALLER NOTE: For wall cabinets, drill 2" down from the top and 2" up from the bottom at the stud locations.
Installation 8 9 ATTACHMENT TO CEILING COUNTERTOP BRACES o When installing cabinets or fillers that leave a void between the wall and cabinet/filler, you must install a 1 x 3 Brace to support the countertop. o Follow the Attachment to Wall requirement to attach the face frame to the ceiling joists; transferring ceiling joist and wall stud locations to the face frame(s) and cabinet back and predrilling clearance holes. Tack shims to the ceiling for alignment.
Installation 10 11 DEEP WALL CABINET o Remove drawer(s) and install shelf (shipped separately in carton) through open top of cabinet. Shelf cannot be installed through the door opening. WARNING: DO NOT install a Deep Wall Cabinet independently. Failure to follow this warning may result in the cabinet falling off the wall, which may cause serious personal injury or property damage that will not be covered by the product warranty.
Installation 12 BASE BLIND CORNER CABINETS (CONTINUED) BASE BLIND CORNER CABINETS o During the “dry fit” step, it is a good time to check the blind corner cabinet spacing from the corner wall. o Position the hidden end of the Base Blind Corner cabinet at the proper spacing from the wall. The spacing is determined by the opposite end of the row of cabinets; this dimension should be noted on the your project layout.
Installation 13 14 BASE CORNER CABINETS o The approach to install Base Corner cabinets is to attach the adjacent cabinets on each side and install the group of cabinets as a unit. WALL FILLER; BASE, WALL o Wall Fillers are available to fill gaps between the end of a row of cabinets and a 90° wall. INSTALLER NOTE: A Backer Board is required behind the Wall Filler if the Filler is wider than 3". Attach the Backer Board to the wall before installing the final cabinet.
Installation WALL FILLER; BASE, WALL (CONTINUED) 15 o Place, shim, level, and install the final cabinet. With the final cabinet in place, measure the gap between the wall and the top of the cabinet. o When installing cabinets next to each other that are different depths (i.e. 12” deep next to 24” deep), a Filler or Full Height Panel will be required to maintain the spacing of the cabinets. o If the wall contour is even, use this dimension to mark and cut the Filler.
Installation TALL END FILLER & 24" DEEP WALL CABINET INSTALLATION 16 17 o The Tall End Filler conceals the side of a refrigerator and supports a 24" Deep Wall Cabinet above. Tall End Fillers are shipped without a Toespace Cutout and must be inverted for left- or right- hand use before marking and cutting the Toespace. o The Toekick Platform is shipped unattached on 96” Tall cabinets.
Installation 18 OVEN CUT-OUT AND OVEN SUPPORT PLATFORM OVEN CUT-OUT AND OVEN SUPPORT PLATFORM (CONTINUED) o Determine oven opening size (rough-in dimensions) by referring to the oven manufacturer’s specifications; or measure your oven. Position the oven so a minimum of 1-1/2" of frame cross rail is left above and below the oven to retain rigidity of the cabinet frame. DO NOT cut an opening larger than what will leave the 1-1/2" required material available.
Installation 19 21 CONVERSION OF VANITY DRAWERS TO FALSE FRONT BOOKCASE o Installation of a bookcase by itself is NOT recommended unless additional support such as attachment to a soffit or supported by a countertop. Bookcases that are 54" or 60" high are designed to mount on a countertop and must be secured to the wall. o The drawers can be changed to a false front if twin or off-center sink bowl locations are required. o Remove the drawer. Unscrew the Drawer Front from the Drawer Box.
Installation 22 23 WALL MICROWAVE SHELF o Transfer measurements for the location of the electrical outlet onto the back of the Wall Microwave Shelf. Cut the hole in the cabinet back to accommodate the outlet box. If no outlet exists, check your microwave oven manufacturer’s recommendation. TOEKICK COVERS o Measure the length of the toekick area and cut the Toekick Cover to that length. Clean the area of any debris. Apply glue to the back of the Toekick Cover and place onto the toekick area.
