CABINET INSTALLATION

Please read prior to installation.

Preparation

UNEVEN FLOORS AND WALLS

Because ﬂoors and walls have uneven spots which

will affect the installation, it will be necessary to locate

these uneven areas. Wall and ﬂoor unevenness can

cause cabinets to be misaligned resulting in “racking”

or misalignment of the doors and drawer fronts. Uneven

spots can be found with a straight edge or a 4 ft. level.

Simply run the straight edge along the ﬂoor and wall to

identify any uneven areas. Where these uneven spots

interfere, high spots can be removed by scraping or

sanding the excess plaster. Low spots can be shimmed.

LOCATE STUDS

Locate the wall studs with a stud ﬁnder or tap on the wall

to locate a “solid sound”. This generally will tell you where

the wall studs are located. You can verify this location by

driving a small ﬁnishing nail into the wall. Make sure this

is an area that will be covered by the base cabinets. Mark

a chalk line at the center of the wall studs at the top and

bottom of the cabinet position. Normally the wall studs

are located 16 in. apart, center to center.

CABINET HEIGHT

To establish the height of your base cabinets, measure up

and mark the wall at 33

⁄2 in. from the highest spot on the

ﬂoor. Use this mark as a starting point and draw the lines

around the bathroom. Mark the outlines of all cabinets on

the wall to check actual cabinet dimensions against your

layout (Figure 1).

HARDWARE

Decorative and installation hardware such as nails, screws,

glue, wire, tape, etc., are not included.

INSTALLATION TIP

Whenever drilling into a cabinet frame, crown, back panel,

wall cleat, etc., it is recommended to pre-drill a pilot hole

ﬁrst to help prevent splitting. Also, using a little wax on the

screws will help seat them into the wood.

INSTALL BASE CABINETS Before beginning the cabinet installation, you will need to apply the finished flush-fit end panel(s) to the side(s) of the cabinet(s) that will be exposed to the room. Refer to the instructions provided with the flush fit end panels. When starting the installation process, it is very important to start your installation from a corner wall and work out. If the wall is not straight, you may need to use a filler and scribe it to the wall’s shape (Figure 2).
PAGE 3
Hinge Adjustment It usually is necessary to adjust your hinges once you have finished the installation of your cabinets (Figure 6). You must do this before installing any decorative hardware. Soft Close Hinge Damper To install, position the damper in the upper corner on the hinge side of the face frame, pre-drill pilot hole, and fasten with provided screw. Adjust the damper by twisting the piston left or right to protrude or retract as necessary (Figure 7).

Decorative Foot Installation A Before installing decorative foot, you will need to install the standard 1⁄8 in. finished toe kick (see Toe Kick Installation). When installing the decorative foot it will be necessary to remove the doors or drawers from the base cabinets or drawer banks. a) When installing a foot under a filler, apply double-sided tape and adhesive to the back side of foot to secure in place.

Floor Hutch The floor hutch is assembled with the finished flush-fit end panels unattached. You will need to apply the flush-fit end panels to the side(s) of the cabinet that will be exposed to the room. Just follow the simple steps below. Flush-Fit End Panel MATERIALS Finished flush-fit end panel and a roll of double-sided tape (suggested 1 roll per flush-fit end panel) or construction adhesive or white glue (neither are provided).

Care and Cleaning EXTERIOR CARE AND CLEANING INTERIOR CARE AND CLEANING For normal spills, a damp cloth is sufficient. Remember to dry the surface immediately. Lemon oil is recommended for cleaning wood doors. Most furniture care products, not containing wax, petroleum solvents or silicone can be used for polishing. Do not use caustic agents and/or abrasive scrubbers. Nicks and dings can be repaired using the color sticks. Fill in the scratch or nick using the color stick.

INSTALACIÓN DE GABINETES Lea antes de la instalación. Preparación PISOS Y PAREDES DESNIVELADOS ALTURA DEL GABINETE Debido a que los pisos y las paredes tienen sectores desnivelados que afectan a la instalación, será necesario detectarlos. Los desniveles en paredes y pisos pueden provocar una desalineación y, en consecuencia, el “apilamiento” o la alineación errónea de las puertas y los frentes de las gavetas. Los sectores desparejos se encuentran con un borde recto o un nivel de 4 pies (1,22 m).

INSTALE LOS GABINETES BASE Antes de comenzar la instalación del gabinete, deberá aplicar los paneles de extremo de instalación al ras con acabado en los laterales del gabinete que estarán expuestos en la habitación. Remítase a las instrucciones proporcionadas con los paneles de extremo de instalación al ras. Cuando comience el proceso de instalación, es muy importante que empiece desde un esquinero de pared y que trabaje a partir de esa posición.

Ajuste de las bisagras Por lo general, es necesario ajustar las bisagras una vez que finalizó la instalación de los gabinetes (figura 6). Debe completar este paso antes de instalar cualquier aditamento de decoración. Regulador de tiro de bisagras de cierre suave Para instalar, ubique el regulador de tiro en el extremo superior del lado de la bisagra en el marco frontal; taladre previamente un orificio guía y fije con el tornillo que se proporciona.

A Instalación de pie decorativo Antes de instalar el pie decorativo, deberá instalar el rodapié de acabado estándar de 3,17 mm (consulte Instalación de rodapié). Cuando instale el pie decorativo, será necesario retirar las puertas y las gavetas desde los gabinetes base o gavateros. a) Cuando instale un pie debajo del relleno, aplique cinta doble faz y adhesivo a la parte posterior del pie para fijarlo en el lugar.

Cuidado y limpieza CUIDADO Y LIMPIEZA DEL EXTERIOR CUIDADO Y LIMPIEZA DEL INTERIOR En caso de derrames habituales, es suficiente con un paño húmedo. Recuerde secar la superficie de inmediato. Se recomienda usar aceite de limón para la limpieza de puertas de madera. La mayoría de los productos para el cuidado de muebles, que no contengan vera, solventes de petróleo ni silicona, pueden usarse para pulir. No use productos cáusticos ni limpiadores abrasivos.
