Installing the appliances

When all countertop sections are secured and you’ve 

given the silicone time to seal all edges of the 

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

Throughout the installation, be sure to follow the 

assembly instructions and specifications that come 

with the appliances. 

Most 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 

instruction of your extractor hood.

Most of the appliances that you will work with for 

ENHET is free-standing so they will be easy to slide in 

place. But for the dishwasher and hoods, you need to 

put in more work.

NOTE! 

All water, gas and electricity connections must 

be done by qualified professionals according to valid 

local safety regulations.

Before you install your extractor hood, make sure 

you follow the specified minimum distance between 

cooktop and extractor hood that is listed in the 

assembly instruction. Again, we recommend that 

you get help from someone who can help you hold 

and mount the hood while you make the required 

preparations. 

As you prepare for the dishwasher installation, keep 

in mind that some countries require floor protection 

underneath the dishwasher. Required or not, it is a 

good idea to place floor protection which can hold 

some of water if the dishwasher leaks or overflows.

In order to protect the bottom side and edges of the 

countertop from the steam released when opening the 

dishwasher after a finished washing cycle, attach a 

diffusion barrier along the front edge of the 

countertop.

After the dishwasher has been connected to water and 

electricity, follow the dishwasher installation guide to 

adjust the height of the dishwasher. 

Once the dishwasher is level with the adjacent cabinets, 

secure the dishwasher by following the instructions in 

the dishwasher installation guide.
