Because your kitchen doors and drawers will be in constant use, they may require adjustment from time to time to ensure perfect working order. This can be done easily with a simple screwdriver, a brush and some lubricating oil.

It’s a good idea to inspect the door hinges and drawer runners from time to time so that any dirt, fl uff or general grime can be removed. This can be done with a soft, dry brush or a duster, or even the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. Although lubrication is usually not required, a small amount of household spray polish may be used.

Adjusting the Drawer Fronts

Metal Drawer Box

To adjust the drawer front vertically clip off the cap, rotate the grooved wheel clockwise/anti-clockwise.

Timber Drawer Box

Using a screwdriver, slacken the screws that attach the frontal to the drawer box, align the frontal accordingly and re-tighten the screws. It may be easier to remove the lower screws completely for alignment.

Weight Limit of Drawer Boxes

All kitchen cabinets hold FIRA Gold award certification to British standards BS EN 6222 Test Level H, to ensure complete confi dence of your kitchen for many years to come. The weights shown are the maximum load capacity of a drawer and should not be exceeded.

Adjusting the Door

Side

The side adjustment is made by rotating the appropriate screw on the hinge arm.

Height

For height adjustment the two mounting plate fixing screws have to be temporarily released while making the manual adjustment.

Depth

The depth adjustment is made by temporarily releasing the adjustment/fixing screw. After the adjustment is made the screw has to be re-tightened.

Adjusting Bi-Folds

Unit panel does not stay in position - Spring force is too low

Remove the housing cover. Using a socket spanner (4mm), increase the force by turning the spanner anti-clockwise (the adjustment slide moves down). This adjustment procedure must be performed on both lifting arms.

Unit panel opens too quickly and springs upward - Spring force is too high

Remove the housing cover. Using a socket spanner (4mm), reduce the force by turning the spanner clockwise (the adjustment slide moves up). This adjustment procedure must be performed on both lifting arms.

Unit door is not aligned when closed - Base bodies have not been correctly adjusted

Once the kitchen has been installed (or adjustment work has been performed on the front panels), the front panels may not close cleanly. You can adjust the base body or hinges to improve the closing action.

Slacken the two external fixing screws on the base body and adjust the height using the eccentric screw. Once the correct position has been reached, you must re-tighten the fixing screws. This adjustment procedure must be performed on both lifting arms

Do not use a cordless screwdriver.
The two fixing screws must be re-tightened following adjustment.
