Removing IKEA kitchen drawers is typically a straightforward process. The method may vary slightly depending on the specific type of drawer system you have, but here are general steps to guide you through the process:
Open the Drawer: Fully extend the drawer to its maximum opening position. Look for a small lever or tab located on each drawer slide's inner side.
Release the Drawer Stops: Locate the levers or tabs on the inner sides of the drawer slides. They act as release mechanisms. Press down on these levers or tabs simultaneously on both sides while pulling the drawer towards you.
Remove the Drawer: As you press down on the levers or tabs and continue pulling the drawer towards you, you'll feel the drawer release from the slide tracks. Once it's free, carefully lift and remove the drawer from the cabinet.
Adjust the Levers (if necessary): In some IKEA drawer systems, the release levers can be adjusted to control the drawer's closing motion. If you find that the drawer closes too slowly or too quickly, you can adjust the levers to change the closing speed. Refer to the assembly manual for instructions on how to do this.
Repeat for Other Drawers: If you need to remove multiple drawers, repeat the above steps for each one.
Keep in mind that some IKEA kitchen drawer systems may have variations in their design, so always consult the specific assembly instructions that came with your cabinets or check IKEA's website for any model-specific guidelines.
Additionally, if you're unsure or uncomfortable with the removal process, consider reaching out to IKEA customer support or seeking assistance from a professional to avoid any potential damage to the drawers or cabinet components.
