Building a kitchen island

When it comes to building a kitchen island, it is impor-

tant to consider some key aspects during the planning

and installation. Since the kitchen island will not be

supported by the walls, the frames need to be at-

tached to the floor to prevent the island from tipping

or moving around. For ENHET, you can build a kitchen

island using the open frames along with the assembly

kit for kitchen island.

Start by deciding where the island will be positioned.

place it on top of the island, make sure your have an

equal overhang all around. Then, attach it using the

brackets provided with your base unit.

Before fixing the island to the floor, assess your

floor and make sure the fixation points of the

island do not conflict with floor heating, or elec-

trical lines hiding underneath the floor.

Fixing devices for the floor are not included

since different floor materials require different

types of fixing devices. For advice on suitable

fixing devices for your floor, contact your local

specialised dealer.

Make sure you assemble the cabinet stabilisers onto

the frames according to the assembly instruction

that comes with the assembly kit for kitchen island.

After you have slid the legs into the anchoring

fittings, connect all frames, using the connectors

included with the frames. We recommend that you

use a large spirit level to check that the cabinets are

level in all directions. To make minor adjustments,

adjust the height of the legs.

You're done! Congratulations

on your new kitchen!

Time to step back and admire your new kitchen. With

a little care and maintenance, your IKEA kitchen will

look great for many years to come.

Caring for your cabinets

Clean the doors, cabinet interiors and wood surfaces

with a soft, damp cloth. Only use cleaning products in-

tended for these materials. Do not use products that

contain ammonia, alcohol, bleach or abrasives. Rinse

with clean water, then dry with a clean, dry cloth.

Make sure to clean up spills quickly.

Keep your sink sparkling

After each use, wipe the sink clean with a cloth or

sponge damped in water or a non-abrasive detergent,

if necessary. Rinse the bowl with water and then wipe

the sink with a dry cloth. Avoid scouring powder, steel

wool, or hard objects which can scratch the stainless

steel surface. The damp surface can be discoloured if

substances containing iron, such as steel wool, nails

or gravel, are allowed to remain on it. Discolouration

is caused by the foreign material.

Long-lasting worktops

Keep your worktop in top condition by cleaning spills

quickly with water and a mild detergent. Be sure to

keep them as dry as possible after use. For wood and

solid wood worktops use STOCKARYD wood treat-

ment oil. The oil protects the wood from marks, stains

and cracks, and prevents water from penetrating the

surface.
