Fine tuning your new BDI Cosmo Console

These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions
for your Cosmo Console. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your Cosmo
console may not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this
situation. Be aware that depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required. The
high-quality European hinge hardware is infinitely adjustable, but changing one element can cause the need
for further adjustments. Through a little adjustment, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to
make sure that they are sitting perfectly.

INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.

CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and evenly
spaced on tops and sides.

Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)

The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely without rubbing
against the door frame.

If the cabinet’s doors appear out of alignment, this condition can be corrected with minor adjustment to the
European hinges on each door.

Because these hinges are infinitely adjustable, adjusting one
hinge element can sometimes cause the need for adjustments
to other elements. But with a few adjustments, you can modify
the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they hang
perfectly within your cabinet.

Use a Phillips Screwdriver to adjust Corridor's door hinges:

within the frame. Make minor adjustments at both top and

1

• By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT

bottom hinges for best results.

• By adjusting Screw 2 the entire door will move IN or OUT,

opening or closing the gap between the door frame and
cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)

Porcelain Top Removal

Your Cosmo Console features a durable, heat resistant porcelain top. The top may be cleaned with mild
soapy water on a damp cloth. If liquid spills into the seam, the porcelain top may be removed for cleaning
purposes, or may be replaced in case of damage.

To remove the porcelain:

1) open all 4 doors, partially open the upper left drawer.

2) Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw (indicated below) from each front corner of the drawer.

3) To remove the drawer, place your fingers under each front corner of the drawer and pull the orange
lever towards you while lifting upward. Continue on next page.

4) locate the 4 metal plates that connect the porcelain to the cabinet.

5) Use Hex driver T1 to remove all screws holding the metal plates.

6) Once all four metal plates are removed, the porcelain top may be lifted out by pushing up from below as
shown (arrow #2).

After cleaning, re-insert the porcelain top and re-attach the 4 metal plates.

To reattach the drawer, place the drawer directly on top of the metal drawer slides and slowly push the
drawer all the way in until it "snaps" back on.
