CABINETRY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Before You Begin
These instructions are intended as supplemental reference for those who have the appropriate skills and experience to safely
and successfully install cabinetry, including familiarity with basic carpentry principles, and safe and proper tool use. Wall
framing and construction can vary greatly, and these instructions may not describe your wall. Also, there may be electric,
water, or gas lines or other utilities behind the wall, which you must avoid contacting during installation. If for any reason
after reading these instructions you do not feel confident in your ability to safely and successfully install this cabinetry, please
contact a licensed contractor for installation. Thomasville Nouveau is not responsible for improper installation.
WARNING:
Electric, water and gas lines, and other utilities, are frequently running behind walls where cabinets are installed.
Before drilling any holes, driving any screws or inserting any nails, be sure you will not be making contact with any of these
utilities. Failure to follow this instruction may result in property damage, and serious or fatal injury. If you do not feel confident
in your ability to insure that you will not make contact with utilities behind a wall during installation, please contact a licensed
contractor to install the cabinetry.

Helpful Hint: Read through this manual carefully before starting your renovation project so
you’ll become familiar with all the steps.
2.
Check your new cabinets
Check to make sure the cabinets and accessories you received are what you ordered and are not damaged. Don’t remove
your old plumbing fixtures and kitchen cabinets until you are sure you have the correct products to replace them. Go over
the layout with your designer to make sure you know where everything goes, and identify all finished ends. Don’t remove the
protective film on acrylics until after you drill for hardware.
3.
Remove the existing cabinets (if applicable)
Empty your existing cabinets. Shut off all water supply lines to the kitchen as well as the electricity and remove any existing
appliances. It is best to move the appliances to another room for easier maneuvering in the work area.
If you intend to use your existing sink and traps, disconnect them carefully with the required tools and place them in a safe
place away from all the construction.
