The plinth fits under your kitchen cabinet and stops rubbish and debris from collecting underneath. These are the steps to fit your plinth:

1. Place the correctly cut plinth in front of the cabinet feet.
2. Mark the centre point of the feet on the board.
3. Screw the brackets centrally to the mark and roughly halfway up the plinth.
4. Slide in the clip.
5. Clip the plinth onto the legs.

Pelmets sit underneath your wall units and help hide lighting above your worktop, these are the steps to fit your pelmet:

1. Cut your pelmet to the correct length. To ensure neat joins at the corners use a mitre block to cut 45 degree angles.
2. Screw joining blocks to the top inside edges of your pelmet.
3. Position the pelmet flush with the edge of the unit.
4. Screw the joining blocks to the underside of the unit.
5. Apply mitre bond to the mitred end.
6. Butt the next piece of pelmet against the first and press against the mitred end.
7. Screw the joining blocks, on the next piece of pelmet, into the unit and repeat for all pelmets.
 
The cornice allows you to finish the top of your wall units seamlessly and is fitted in the same way as the pelmet but you may not need to use joining blocks as the screws will not be visible from ground level.
