Incorrect gluing or mounting may result in the destruction of the element or the entire body, and thus with additional costs and waiting time. When your new kitchen arrives, check that all necessary parts are included in the package. The easiest way to compare this is to the list on the order. Do not start disassembling your old kitchen until all new items are complete. Packages with furniture and household appliances should be arranged in the order in which they are to be assembled. Before starting work, disconnect all utilities in the room, turn off electricity, water and gas supplies.
Tools
Most of the assembly instructions contain information about the tools needed for a given element, nevertheless it is worth to make one common list and complete everything at once. The list should include: a pencil, a measuring tape, a drill / driver, a spirit level, a flat screwdriver, a cross screwdriver, an angle saw, a hand saw, a rubber hammer, a carpenter’s clamp. A circular saw and a cutter can also be useful – to cut a hole for a tap in the sink. Some of the tools depend on the type of walls which the furniture will be mounted to.

If a corner cabinet is to be found in the kitchen, it is good to start fixing with it. The next cabinets will then be easier to fit.

Cutting holes in the countertop for a sink or a heating plate should be entrusted to a carpenter because this operation requires practice and appropriate equipment. The edges of the cut-out hole should be protected with sanitary silicone or another agent protecting against moisture. It’s time to attach the worktop, install household appliances and lighting. Everything should be done according to the instructions. Water, gas and electrical connections must be commissioned by qualified specialists.
Installation of shelves, drawers, doors, knobs and handles
The next step is to install drawer guides, shelf mounts and door hinges in the cabinets. Again, follow the instructions provided with the individual accessories. At the end, knobs and handles are attached to the mounted. Next, screw the hinges to the door, attach them to the bodies and align the arrangement of the door with the screws on the hinges. Now you need to screw the drawers together and slide them onto the guides in the body. The culmination of all the work is the installation of the plinth.
Cabinet care
In order to enjoy a self-assembled kitchen for as long as possible, it must be properly cared for. It’s best to use a soft, moist cloth to clean doors, wooden surfaces and inside cabinets. Avoid cleaning agents containing ammonia or alcohol, bleaching agents, and abrasive agents. It is also worth drying the worktop after each splash.
