The manual should be used inconjunction with the main kitchen installation manualwhere you will find general kitchen fitting information.Profiles are supplied in specific lengths and should becut down where required to fit the cabinet run. Pleaseensure any measurements are checked before profilesare cut.The handleless profile system uses a new dedicatedcabinet, which has been manufactured to ensure theprofiles can be fitted quickly and easily.No specialist tools are required to install handlelesskitchens. Fittings packs are provided for the variousprofile applications as shown in this manual.Whilst you may have installed many Howdens kitchensbefore, please make sure you are familiar with how thenew profile system works, by reading this manual beforeyou start the installation.Page 3
Handleless Profile SystemGuide - Hints & tipsHandleless cabinetsThe handleless cabinet platform has been designed to work with specific profiles which give asleek linear kitchen design on different ranges. The main differences in the cabinet are the cut-outsections for the profiles, which have been pre-manufactured ready for you to simply install. Shouldthere be the need to modify one of Howdens standard rigid cabinets, a jig is available from yourlocal depot.SealingWe recommend any raw edges are sealed using a silicone sealant, clear or colour. We alsorecommend that MDF spacer rails are sealed around wet areas such as a sink and tap with awaterproof varnish.QR codesSome areas of installation have a QR code referenced against them.Scan the QR code using your smart device to access a short video giving an overview of theassembly of that particular component. You do not need a special App to scan a QR code, simplyput your phone onto the camera mode and hover over the QR code. You will then be prompted toview the video.Kitchen installation manualCabinet preparation and installation for handleless ranges is the same as in a normal kitchen. Thismanual is therefore focussed on the fitting of the profiles. The main kitchen installation manualshould be followed for all other aspects of assembly and installation, including leg and decoraccessory fixing.Push to open (PTO)All wall cabinet doors will need to be used with a PTO magnetic catch.In addition to this, PTO drawers are available for use in ranges where the drawer profile cannot beused. PTO drawer mechanisms are only available for use with the upgrade drawer box and are alsonot compatible with standard or shallow drawer boxes.PTO is not available for appliance and larder accessory pull-outs. These units require the use ofprofiles if part of the handless range. PTO specific sales options are set up for handleless ranges.Profile cuttingWhen cutting profiles to length, please be aware of sharp edges at the ends.Aluminium cutting blades should be used.End cap and corner return considerationsWhen cutting worktop and drawer profiles to length, allow 2mm cut down at each side for end caps.If planning a corner return, the front worktop profile will require an additional 9mm added to thelength.Important: Do not cut profiles until measurements have been checked.Page 4
Handleless Profile SystemPlanning dimensionsCONSIDERATIONS Worktop height is elevated by 30mm compared to other kitchen ranges, due to the profile application. Tower applications require a 30mm spacing on each side to allow for the profile fitting. Wall unit doors will require a push to open magnetic catch. Base and tower cabinets are supplied pre-notched for profiles. Support bars should be used over unsupported worktop spans (over 700mm) when using granite, quartz or thin worktops.A2112mm (standard)2292mm (extra tall)1942mm2122mmC472mm290mmWall fixings600mmC575mm22mm450mm(based on 22mm worktop)B720mm (full height)B557mm (standard)Wall hanging brackets ,.900mm (extra tall)A30mm890mm920mmBase cabinetfixing bracket720mm170mmPage 5

Handleless Profile SystemBefore you beginCabinet installation is the same as in any other Howdens kitchen. Please follow the kitcheninstallation manual for all aspects of cabinet leg fixing, wall fixing and alignment.Base cabinets must be perfectly level and secured to the wall before the profiles are fitted.Measure the length of the cabinet run and cut the worktop/drawer profiles accordingly.Note: Cabinet alignment should be made at the top front cut out.Only cut the worktop and drawer profiles to length when you havemeasured and checked the correct lengths required.Profile, caps and corner return applications need to be takeninto consideration.When setting out tower and larder cabinets, these require a 30mm space between them for theprofile to be fitted.30mm30mmProfileProfiles should be flush with thetop of the cabinetsPage 8

However, should youneed to modify a standard cabinet, follow the guide below for cutting the panels.If using a HL cabinet for sink base application, please see page 26 for cabinet preparation.Note: Jig and straight edges used should be clamped in place.Base cabinetsFit the location peg to the top of the jig, then position the jig to the front of the cabinet.Note: Due to the removal of a dowel position when routering, a screw will need to be fitted in thefront rail (on both sides) before routering the cabinet sides and front rail.Router the front edge of the cabinet as required, then the front of the top rail, usinga straight edge to ensure a straight cut.On double base cabinets (with centre rail) we recommend using a base cabinetL bracket for additional support of the centre post to the underside of the top rail.Plunge router30mm collar12.7mm Router bitWorktopAll handlelessbase cabinets25mm18mm40mm9mmDrawerHandleless drawerprofile cabinets only25mm67mmFit screw (40mm csk) eachside before cuttingTower cabinetsFor tower cabinet modification, use a straight edge and router toremove 17mm of the front edge of the side panels.
