Hello,
I received my new Ikea kitchen yesterday. Unfortunately, one of the drawer fronts was delivered in the wrong color. It is the Maximera drawer system.
For the sake of speed, I suggested handling the replacement myself. However, I’m already having trouble removing the old front. It would be great if you could share some tips. Which mechanism do I need to release, and where, to detach the front panel?
Thanks for any advice.

I assume the drawer was purchased in Germany and does not have a railing.
1. Remove the white cover cap on the sides.
2. In the middle, there is an almost rectangular hole.
3. Inside the hole, you can see a partially covered cross-shaped hole in a metal plate.
4. Insert a sufficiently large Phillips screwdriver there. This will automatically lift the partially covering metal plate.
5. Turn the screwdriver clockwise on the left side. On the other side, turn it counterclockwise.
6. Done
The entire procedure is also shown in the assembly instructions.
