Tilted upper cabinets due to hanging rail?

Hello dear forum,

soon the installation of a new kitchen is due and I am concerned about the following:

The depth of the wall cabinets in the Metod series is always given with and without fastening using a hanging rail (e.g. 59 vs. 60cm). This means that at the top hanging point the wall cabinet with hanging rail always stands one centimeter further away from the wall than without.
As far as I could gather from the assembly instructions, the same spacer is always installed at the bottom of the cabinets. If the cabinet at the top protrudes one centimeter further forward than without the hanging rail, then the cabinet "tilts" forward, right?

The tilt will probably not be enough that the dishes come towards me when opening the door, I assume. Or are the cabinets designed in such a way that without hanging rail they are slightly tilted backward and with hanging rail then horizontal?

Thanks for your answers!

No, the corpses also have a spacer at the bottom, see step 13, so that they stand vertically against the wall.

In both cases, the wall cabinets are regularly installed with a depth of 37.6 cm.

No one seems to really answer his question; he already knows that there are spacers .

If the rail is NOT used, the spacers should not be attached on the back either, as they are exactly as deep as the rail.

Then, however, the brackets at the top must be attached differently from the assembly instructions.

Thanks, monkey, you seem to be the only one who understood my question!

Is omitting the spacers just a guess or actually a mistake in the assembly instructions?
In the "press release" from Ikea, it says that the Metod series, unlike its predecessor (Faktum), has ventilation. I could imagine that this refers to the spacers and that these therefore do not serve as compensation. Or are ventilation slots milled somewhere in the carcass (or something like that)?
