Marking key measurements

There are some critical measurements you need to consider and mark 

on your walls in order to secure proper alignment, leave adequate room 

for your work area and follow appliances requirements. Remember to 

consider the space needed for doors and drawers to open properly, 

making sure there will be no collisions with, for instance radiators or 

windowsills, when opening drawers and doors.

1.  From the highest point (A) that you have found 

at the very beginning, mark on the wall 34½” 

(876 mm), then use the cross line laser level to 

trace a line across tthe wall where the base units 

will be placed. This is where the top of your base 

cabinets and frames will end up. 

2. Finally, mark the top line wall units at 84½” 

(2146 mm) from the highest point (A) and trace 

a horizontal line as with the other mark. The line 

represents the top position of the wall cabinets 

and frames.

3. With the lines marked, double-check that your 

plumbing and electrical outlets fit with your layout 

plan.

4. Pay attention to the required minimum distance 

between cooktop and hood. This can be found in 

the extractor hood assembly instruction.

5. If you have a kitchen with a corner, you build the 

corner base solution with a regular ENHET base 

corner cabinet and an ENHET corner panel. For the 

positioning of this solution, see page 10.

6. Mark the end and the beginning of a cabinet, 

frame and appliances. Draw it on the wall to 

complete your kitchen layout.

7.  The dishwasher should only be installed between 

two cabinets or at least between one cabinet and 

an end panel. This in order to secure the appliance 

properly and provide support for the countertop. 

 

 

NOTE! 

For free standing appliances secure  

enough space, 1/2” on each side, to fit and handle 

the appliance.
