Utilities Safety: WARNING!
Serious injury or even death may occur if you handle
utility connections (gas, water, electric). Have qualied
utilities professionals perform any utility connections
or disconnections. Make sure you have shut off the
power to electrical lines and outlets you may come
into contact with while remodeling, or which may
have to be moved. Do this by shutting off the circuit
breaker/fuse at the electrical panel. Use a circuit
tester to make sure the power is off. Check both
receptacles in a duplex outlet because they could
each be on a different circuit. Know where utility lines
are located to avoid drilling into them.
Cabinet Support Braces
Well-made braces make installation easier and more
accurate.
Install a straight 1 x 2 ledger board on the Wall Cabinet
Bottom Level Line, fastened into wall studs with 2-1/2"
screws. This is the most stable support method, though it
requires minor repairs to patch screw holes after the ledger
board is removed.
Make a “T” brace from 2 x 4’s. Pad the top with carpeting.
Reinforce where the 2 x 4’s join with a plywood gusset.
If the base cabinets are not yet installed, make the “T” brace
long enough to reach the lowest spot on the oor (about 55"
high).
Installation Safety
Because of the size and weight of cabinetry, DO
NOT install by yourself. Installation should be done
by at least two able-bodied people working together.
Wear protective eyewear, gloves and boots. Always
maintain a clean, organized work area.

Things to Consider
Know Your Project

determine where you should start your installation. At this time, consider the space requirements needed
for your appliances.
