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.
