Base Cabinets
Drawer Removal & Reinstallation
2. Install and level base cabinets, secure tops, etc. (See Page 5 for leveling instructions) 3. Reinstall drawers, checking for proper alignment and fit. To reinstall, pull the bearings all the way forward on the slides in the cabinet. Align the slides on the drawer within the slides in the cabinet. Be careful to push the drawer in with equal pressure on both sides. The black nylon lever on the slide attached to the drawer body will lock the drawer in place. TIP: To save time adjusting the drawers to achieve proper gapping (see below), mark the drawers so they can be reinstalled to their original locations.
Drawers are installed at the factory before shipment. Drawers are usually removed, however, during base cabinet installation, and they must be reinstalled and adjusted to complete the installation. This is accomplished as follows: 1. Remove drawers from the base cabinet. Removing the drawer body from the slide assembly is easily accomplished, without tools, by deflecting a nylon lever built into the innermost member of the slide. 1. Pull the drawer out to its full extension position and locate the black nylon levers on each side. 2. Push the black nylon lever up on the left side, and down on the right side, while pulling out gently on the drawer. (Depending upon the slide manufacturer, the levers may need to be pushed in, rather than pushed up and down.) 3. Pull the drawer body completely out of the slides, noting that the ball bearings in the slide align with and travel in grooves. (Important: Take note of how the bearings engage in these grooves to lock the slide members together.)
