Ikea kitchen drawers???

Hi...with my old Ikea kitchen I could easily remove the drawers by lifting them up slightly. I have a new kitchen with a different design drawer and can't seem to work out how to remove them...they wont lift up or budge at all.
Any suggestions? Is there a knack I am missing?

    Common problem. They slide out after pushing up a little white tap on the slider, you may need to get on your knees to see it.
  • Yup that's right....me and a carpenter and a plumber all on our knees with a screw driver and lots of fiddling round! ( sounds more fun that it was )
    Thanks

    With my ikea drawers you just pull the drawer out as far as it will go then pull hard upwards and outwards. Takes a bit of effort but that's what the instructions said to do.
