4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the Schüller Kitchen Plinth Brackets:
- Prepare the Plinth: Ensure your kitchen plinth (made of wood, plastic, or metal) has a thickness of approximately 13 mm for optimal fit.
- Attach Brackets to Plinth: The plinth holders are designed to be attached from the top onto the plinth strip. Simply slide them onto the top edge of the plinth.
- Position the Plinth: Once the brackets are attached to the plinth, position the plinth in front of your kitchen cabinets.
- Secure to Cabinet Legs: With slight downward pressure, slide the plinth and attached brackets either to the left or right into the plastic holders (feet) of the kitchen cabinets. The clips will engage with the cabinet leg's plinth holder, securing the plinth in place.

5. Operating
The Schüller Kitchen Plinth Brackets are passive fastening components. Once correctly installed, no further operation is required. They function by securely holding the kitchen plinth in place against the cabinet legs.
6. Maintenance
These plinth brackets require minimal maintenance. Periodically check the security of the plinth attachment. If the plinth becomes loose, gently push it back into place to re-engage the clips. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
- Plinth is loose after installation: Ensure the clips are fully engaged with the plastic holders on the cabinet legs. Apply firm, even pressure when sliding the plinth into position. Verify that the plinth thickness is compatible (approx. 13 mm).
- Clips do not fit: Check if your cabinet leg holders are compatible with a slide-in clip mechanism. Compare the dimensions of the bracket (Image 3.1) with your existing setup.
