or if necessary, shim between the cabinet and the

worktop.

Installing the sink and tap

Before you start to install the kitchen mixer tap,

double-check that the connections between the water

supply and the tap fit. Then switch off the main shut-

off valve. Keep in mind that the installation must be

performed in compliance with current local construc-

tion and plumbing regulations. If in doubt, contact a

professional.

Before sliding the sink into position, follow the

hole, check that it doesn't collide with the top rail of

the cabinet underneath. After you've drilled the hole,

clean and seal the hole with silicone.

Next, follow the assembly instructions of the water

trap and tap to finalize the sink and tap installation.

Once the worktop pieces are level and align with

the wall, fix the worktop to the cabinets and apply

silicone in order to prevent fluids from penetrating

the worktop.

While some of our sinks come with a pre-cut hole for

the tap, there are cases where you need to install the

tap on the worktop. If this is the case, make sure you

use a drill that is powerful enough to drill through the

worktop material.

Once the sink and tap are in place and secured, seal

the edges around them with silicone to secure a

water tight seal.

Installing the appliances

When all worktop sections are secured and you've

given the silicone time to seal all raw edges of the

cut-outs, it's time to start installing your appliances.

Throughout, be sure to follow the assembly instruc-

tions and specifications that come with the appliances.

Note: All water, gas and electricity connections must

be done by qualified professionals according to valid

local safety regulations.

protection which holds some amount of water if the

water connections of the dishwasher should break.

Once the door is mounted, and the dishwasher is

level with the adjacent cabinets, you need to secure

the dishwasher by following the instructions in the

dishwasher installation guide.

Note: If you have a fully integrated dishwasher we

recommend that you wait to assemble the front onto

to the dishwasher until you mount the other kitchen

fronts. This makes it easier to align them.

The extractor hoods at IKEA can be installed in two

ways: either in extraction mode (i.e. ducted to the

outside) or used in recirculation mode fitted with a

charcoal filter. Each installation option and required

cabinet preparation is described in the assembly in-

struction of your extractor hood.

Before you install your extractor hood, make sure

you follow the specified minimum distance between

hob and extractor hood that is listed in the assembly

instruction. Again, we recommend that you find help

from someone who can help you hold and fixate the

hood while you make the required preparations.

After the dishwasher has been connected to water

and electricity, follow the dishwasher installation

guide to adjust the height of the dishwasher.
