Howdens corner base unit

I have got a Howdens corner base unit. It consists of one 900 unit and a box with another back (?) panel, side(?) panel, top and base (?) panels and a bunch of fittings, but no instructions. I think I have almost sussed out how it fits together, but there are a few plastic discs that look a bit like cam fittings and I have no idea what they are for. Can anyone help?

Best to put pics of them on here

Could be for the carousel if you are having one, could also be for joining panels to the other part of the corner unit.

the extra pack bolts onto the unit with all the screw together fittings. make sure you dont get them mixed up as there a t*at to remove if you do cock it up.

cant think from memory what the cam things you mention could be for. and i only did one a couple of months back. unless the cams are to build the bolt on side bit together.

ask in howdens for the kitchen installation manual they have. i got one last time and im gonna keep it handy. worth it even just for the random things like adjusting the tall apliance housing units they supply. its just a paper back booklet. A4 size handy resource and it also has the added benefit of telling you what all the various fittings suplied with all the units are actually for. as sometimes its a bit of a mystery with their kitchens

Thanks for your help everyone. I have got them both together. I cannot find anywhere to fit the cams as there are no holes big enough to fit them in. They must be fo something else.

basically the "extra box" is a 300 unit with one side panel missing assemble that ! if you look under the 900 section there will be 3 or 4 holes in the base and the panel which faces the wall there will be corresponding holes in the 300 section also.
the plastic plugs are in 2 parts one half has a screw in it you hammer fix the plugs into the aligning holes then join the 2 section together using the screws in the plugs! hope that makes sense, there should also be a couple of them for where the top braces meet also!

Thanks marc1106. It was not until I unpacked the selves that it became obvious what the cams were for. One lot of cams were in with the carcass and another lot in with the shelves. Thanks everyone, carcasses are now built with shelves installed.
