5. It is best when installing a larger kitchen to mark the cabinet positions and code (size) on the wall. Better to nd
out now if things aren’t going to t just right than after you’ve installed several cabinets.
6. Unbox the cabinets and be cau-
tious not to drag them across the
oor. Save some cardboard to
rest the cabinets on to prevent
damage to the cabinets and the
oor.
7. Remove all doors, drawers and
shelves, being careful to mark
them so that they go back on correct cabinets. Removing the doors can
be done without tools as the hinges are “clip-on”.
Standard Drawers can be removed by simply pulling the drawer out until it
stops, then lift up the front of the drawer and remove the drawer.
Dovetail Drawers can be removed by pulling the drawer out until it stops. Then reach under the drawer box on
both sides just behind the drawer front. Pull the clips holding both of
them simultaneously while lifting up on the drawer box. Then slide the
drawer out.

CABINET INSTALLATION ORDER
1. Determining the installation order of the cabinets
depends on the plan. As a general rule it is better to
start with wall cabinets in the corner and work out.
However, if you have “tall” cabinets, like a pantry or
oven cabinet in the plan, it is critical to make sure
that the tall cabinet is used to determine the top
alignment of wall cabinets.
INSTALLING CABINET LEVEL
1. Nearly every oor, in any house, will not be level and at. The illustrations below show an exaggerated view of
why leveling cabinets to the high point in the oor is critical.
2. Cabinets should be shimmed up from the oor level to the 34 ½� line with wood or composite shims.

2. Cabinets should be shimmed up from the floor level to the 34 ½” line with wood or composite shims.
3. Cabinets should also be shimmed out from the wall to maintain a straight line. Hampton Bay Designer
Series cabinets are designed to be a “frameless construction” which means when the cabinets are
screwed together they will be forced into a straight line regardless of how wavy or bowed the wall or
surface they’re fastened to may be.
