Installation Guide

BASE CABINETS:
Depending on the flooring, there will be different ways to level cabinets:
FLOORS:
If cabinets will be installed prior to finished floor, cut plywood strips to the thickness of the floor and underlayment
If you encounter an uneven surface, position shim under strips to a level position
• If cabinets will be installed after finished floor, shim until the base cabinets are level.
UNEVEN WALLS:
If you encounter minor bowing on the wall, position shim behind the base cabinet until level and plumb
• If bowing is extreme, multiple shims may be required.
Please note:
All Hampton Bay kitchen wall and base cabinets include full installation manuals.
