Instructions / Assembly

STEP #1
After you have confirmed the all utilities are shut off, you may begin removing appliances
and sink. We recommend moving these out of the kitchen to provide maximum work space.
Continue by removing cabinetry, countertops and any moldings or baseboard that may
interfere with installation.
STEP #2
You can expect that your floors and
walls will have some uneven areas.
Begin by locating the floor’s highest
point. Place a level at the base of the
wall and move around the perimeter of
wall until you locate the high point
(ILLUSTRATION A). Mark this
location for reference. Repeat this
process at a point 21-1/2” away from
the wall (front of cabinet toe kick), and
compare to previously identified high
point. Use whichever high point is
greater for next step.
STEP #3
Measure up from the highest point 34-1/2” and draw a level line around the room
perimeter to receive cabinetry. This is your “base cabinet level line” to which you will align
the top of the base cabinets. Now, measure up from the original high point 84” if you are
installing 30” high wall cabinets, or 96” if you are installing 42” high wall cabinets and draw
a level line around room perimeter to receive cabinetry. This is your “wall cabinet level line”
to which you will align the top of the wall cabinets. Lastly, measure down 30” from the 84”
line if you are using 30” high cabinets, or 42” down from 96” line if you are using 42” high
cabinets and draw a level line around the room perimeter to receive cabinetry. This is your
“wall cabinet bottom level line”.
STEP #4
Locate wall studs with stud finder and
mark their locations for your installation
reference (ILLUSTRATION B). Use a
straight 2 x 4 and carpenter’s level to
check walls for any uneven spots. High
spots should be removed by sanding or
scraping and low spots should be
shimmed.
