IKEA Akurum kitchen Installation Manual Download Page 10

© Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2004

You’re almost there. Just a few more finishing
touches and your kitchen will be complete. From
attaching knobs and handles to checking the
alignment of doors and drawers once everything
is in place, it’s important to take your time and
get these things right.

After all, it’s details like these that will make
your kitchen look as great as it performs day
after day, year after year!

The Step 7 poster provides instructions for:

• Attaching plinths and mouldings
• Attaching light decor strips
• Installing cornices
• Hanging doors
• Attaching knobs and handles
• Attaching plastic buffers

Step 7. Add the 

finishing touches
