Hello
The following question is currently occupying me:
It is the case that the Metod Korpen stands on adjustable feet. The feet are adjusted so that all cabinets are level. After that, the plinths are mounted on the feet.
But couldn’t it (very easily) happen that, after all the feet are adjusted, the kitchen is completely assembled, and one wants to mount the plinths at the end, that then a plinth might possibly no longer fit on a foot because it was adjusted too low (<8cm) and thus the plinth is higher than the foot?
Shouldn't one therefore set the feet to a "height with reserve" when assembling the kitchen, for example to 9cm, so that when adjusting the feet it should not happen that the foot height becomes smaller than the plinth height???
Best regards
Section Chief

First, examine how uneven the floor is. If in the default setting the height is exactly the same as the height, I would definitely choose the height so that it is still possible to get between the body and the plinth trim in order to easily remove it if necessary.

I forgot two words. If in the preset the height [der Füße] is exactly the same as the height of the baseboard,...

Hello section head, before you start setting up the corps, you must determine the highest point. At the edge, use a long spirit level to see how uneven the floor is. The same, of course, also applies to the front of the corpus front side. There you adjust your 8 cm with the feet and then the rest falls into place. Regards Mr. Rossi

Thank you for the answers. It is definitely very advisable to always check immediately after adjusting the feet whether the base still fits on the foot. I assume that if I use a foot height of 9cm right away, you will still not see the 1cm gap from the front and you will be on the safe side. Best regards Section Chief
