Hello, I have the above-mentioned cabinet, now finally with the drawer installed. I want to point out that you cannot use it if you have the siphon for the dishwasher inside the cabinet – annoying wrong purchase, but no one at Ikea said anything about it either ;-((( Now I had to leave out the not so deep, inner drawer and cannot even fully use the purchased waste system because the siphon is simply so big that it takes up half the cabinet. Is that normal?

Now to my question: unfortunately, my moving helpers first attached the panel at the top as a drawer front. Therefore, the holes in the panel no longer match the clips that you use to attach it as a top panel on the sink cabinet. I haven’t found anything online and the drilling template seems to be lost. Does anyone have one to spare?

The Atlant siphon from IKEA is designed so that it does not take up the entire space in the cabinet. Maybe it was mounted unfavorably or do you have a "foreign sink" with a standard siphon?

Clips? Was something changed there? The front is just a normal drawer front, which is fixed with two brackets.
A reference to the illustration in the assembly instructions would be helpful.

I have the Boholmen sink. It just annoys me a bit that you can hardly buy a kitchen without having to enter everything into the computer on site and then going through it with the service employee. And then something as trivial as the siphon doesn’t fit the cabinet! I was never asked which siphon I wanted, they just said one would be included. It was installed exactly according to the installation instructions. Now I have the "expensive" sink cabinet with the great drawers, but I can’t install the upper (inner) one because of the siphon, and my waste system only fits halfway, meaning only the 2 smaller bins on one side, because on the other side the siphon is in the way. Grrhhh.

It can actually only be the Atlant siphon. Is it installed turned all the way to the back and was the hose length adjusted accordingly? It may also be that the position of the connections does not allow for a space-saving installation, but it should be possible to do better than you describe.

Please take a photo of how the siphon is installed. Then it can also be explained to you exactly what you need to change.

OK, so here are 2 pictures. It’s true, the siphon is not at the back but at the front in the cabinet. Don’t tell me the installation professional (a plumber) did it wrong? Unfortunately, I don’t know what the siphon is called, I have already thrown away the packaging. It would be great if I can at least fit the trash in there, for the drawer I’m not hopeful anyway...



PS I hope the photos work with the link like this
