Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Verify that your wooden drawer box has a precise 17mm wide groove running the full depth of the drawer side.
Installation: Since screws are not provided, select appropriate wood screws that match the countersunk holes in the runner profile, ensuring the screw head sits flush to avoid obstructing the ball cage.
Alignment: Fix the carcass member to the inner walls of the furniture frame, ensuring they are level using a spirit level for balanced operation.
Maintenance: To keep the runners operating smoothly, periodically remove the drawer and wipe the ball cages with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using heavy lubricants which may attract dust over time.
