4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install your KALLROR cabinet handles:

1. Measure and Mark: Determine the desired position for your handle on the cabinet door or drawer. The hole spacing for these handles is 352 mm. Use a ruler and pencil to accurately mark the two drilling points.
2. Drill Holes: Using a 5 mm drill bit, carefully drill through the marked points. Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface to create clean holes.
3. Attach Handles: From the back side of the cabinet door/drawer, insert the provided screws through the drilled holes. Align the handle with the screws on the front side and gently tighten the screws until the handle is secure. Do not overtighten.

5. Usage

The Ikea KALLROR handles are designed for opening and closing cabinet doors and drawers. Grip the handle firmly and apply gentle, even pressure to operate the cabinet mechanism. Avoid excessive force or sudden movements to prevent damage to the handle or furniture.

6. Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your stainless steel handles:

• Cleaning: Wipe the handles regularly with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
• Drying: Always dry the handles thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or streaks.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or chemical solvents, as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel finish.
• Periodic Check: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws and retighten if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

• Loose Handle: If a handle feels loose, gently tighten the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer. Do not overtighten.
• Scratches on Handle: Minor scratches on stainless steel can sometimes be buffed out with a specialized stainless steel polish and a soft cloth, following the grain of the steel. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be required.
• Difficulty Installing: Ensure that the drilled holes are precisely 352 mm apart and that the drill bit used was 5 mm in diameter. Verify that the cabinet door/drawer thickness is between 16 mm and 21 mm.
