Introduction

This document provides assembly and installation instructions for the IKEA KNIVSHULT push opener system.

Tools Required

You will need a pencil (✏️), a tape measure (?), and a saw (?).

Parts Included

The package contains the following parts:

1x Left Drawer Slide (Part No. 10050976)
1x Right Drawer Slide (Part No. 10051031)
1x Push Opener Rod (Part No. 10050915)
2x Rod Connector (Part No. 10050910)
2x Push Opener Bracket (Part No. 10050905)
2x Push Opener Bracket (Part No. 10050926)

Note: Additional screws (Part No. 107091) may be required for cabinet mounting, as shown in Step 7.

Preparation

Step 1: Cut the Rod

The push opener rod (Part No. 10050915) needs to be cut to the correct length based on your drawer width:

For 40 cm drawers: Cut rod to 125 mm.
For 60 cm drawers: Cut rod to 225 mm.
For 80 cm drawers: Cut rod to 325 mm.

Use a saw (?) for cutting. Dispose of excess material responsibly (?️).

Step 2: Attach Rod Connectors

Attach the two rod connectors (Part No. 10050910) to each end of the cut rod. Push them firmly onto the rod until they are secured.

Drawer Slide Installation

Step 3: Mount Slides to Drawer

Attach the drawer slides (Part No. 10050976 for Left, Part No. 10051031 for Right) to the sides of the drawer. Ensure the 'L' and 'R' indicators on the slides are correctly positioned for the left and right sides of the drawer. The slides attach to the drawer via multiple mounting points, indicated by arrows in the diagrams. A 'Click!' sound signifies proper engagement.

Step 4: Mount Slides to Cabinet

Attach the corresponding cabinet mounting plates to the inside walls of the cabinet. Ensure correct alignment and orientation, using the 'L' and 'R' markings. The diagrams show the plates being fixed to the cabinet interior with screws (not explicitly numbered here but implied).

Push Opener Mechanism Assembly

Step 5: Connect Rod to Drawer Slides

Connect the prepared rod (with connectors) to the push opener mechanism integrated into the drawer slides. The diagrams show the rod being inserted into the connectors on the slides, with a rotational action to secure it.

Step 6: Attach Push Opener Brackets

Attach the push opener brackets (Part No. 10050905 and Part No. 10050926) to the drawer slides. These brackets are crucial for the push-to-open function. The diagrams illustrate how these brackets are mounted and interact with the drawer slide mechanism, often involving a lever or clip action.

Final Assembly

Step 7: Install Drawer into Cabinet

Carefully insert the assembled drawer, with the push opener mechanism attached, into the cabinet. The drawer slides should engage smoothly with the cabinet-mounted plates. The diagrams show the drawer being slid into place. A close-up view illustrates the push opener mechanism on the drawer interacting with the cabinet-mounted components.

The diagram on page 10 shows the drawer being inserted into the cabinet, with a callout for 4x screws (Part No. 107091) and a trash can icon (?️) for packaging disposal.
