REMOVING YOUR OLD KITCHEN You should only start

REMOVING YOUR OLD KITCHEN
You should only start to dismantle your old kitchen when you have purchased
your new Take Away kitchen and appliances - just in case you can’t get
everything you want.
Getting ready
First of all clear everything out of your kitchen. Be sure to empty all the
cupboards and clear all worktops. Turn off the kitchen electricity and water
supply - then disconnect all lines to the sink and drains.
Next, disconnect any appliances. You may want to use another room as a
temporary kitchen - an electric kettle and microwave are particularly useful
while your kitchen is out of use.
Safety tips
Remember, it is law that gas appliances should only be disconnected or
connected by someone with CORGI Registration. Take care when working with
electricity. If in doubt call in a qualified electrician.
Removing old cabinets
First remove all the drawers and doors from the cabinets. Next remove
worktops by looking underneath to locate the attachments to the base cabinets.
Wear safety gloves and goggles when removing the cabinets - two people will
be required to remove the wall cabinets.
Remove any screws and fasteners and ease the worktop off. If it has been
glued down, you may need to use a crow bar to pull the worktop off -
remember to protect the wall by putting a piece of waste wood between the
wall and the crowbar.
Now you simply have to unscrew the cabinets, detach and clear the kitchen.
Information Annotation of Kitchen would be even more

Information Annotation of Kitchen would be even more
helpful if it could respond automatically to events before
and during their occurrence. For example, before we try to
open a hot pot, it should tell the temperature of the pot and
record our body and hand positions.
In the Spatial Definition system, we have suggested a
solution to better describe the spatial events of the kitchen.
We only use the spatial regions as virtual buttons, pressed
or released to trigger events. Once the system can
accurately judge the activites being performed, it will be
able to automatically deliver useful information. In the
future, we will use a thermal imaging camera to better
recognize human activities and monitor temperatures
throughout the kitchen.
