I have been assembling a new (budget) kitchen, equipped with Ignis appliances. After a "day's" work I had 4 of these left over:
Can anyone tell me what they are for and where I should place them? They look like bits from the dishwasher; handles perhaps, but for what ? Thanks Rob
Some kind of a shim?
They look to me like they could be hand-protection grips that might have been supplied wrapped around the open/sharp edge of either some sheet metal item or a sheet-glass item, so you could lift/carry the thing without cutting your hand.
Donno, the wide gap looks like it would fit onto the edge of a board making up the units. But why the curved other edge?
You could be right with this. I've just been taking the fronts off metal drawers to put on to 'wooden' ones and there are some smooth plastic covers over sharp bits. Don't look anything like that, but aren't 'customer-facing'.

Well, I thought I would get a shaming reply like, "how did you install XXXX WITHOUT those ?" I am trying to think of what might have needed hand-protection when it was carried. I will visit the store where I bought/ordered the kitchen and see if they know. (BTW Yes,Phil L, oxyalis - I could control them in free ground, but between paving cracks . . . um !) Greetings, Rob
Would they clip on to dishwasher baskets as flip down handles?
More probably lifting hand grips on the cardboard cartons that the appliances came in, especially if they were heavy.
As the small side is closed, I don't think they are intended to clip over anything. Assuming that the slot shaped hole on the right runs right through the body, it looks to me as though a cord should pass through it and, when pulled to the left, be pinched and held by the two horns on the end. As to why you would need to do that on a kitchen unit, I have no idea.

Wait until St Patrick's Day, pick them and take them to an Irish Pub, give them out with small safety pins so people can pin them to their lapels; -you'll be plied with Guinness!
If anyone is remotely interested in solved mysteries, this one is solved. It turns out that these strangely-shaped bits of grey plastic are cutlery drawer dividers. see
