Fine tuning your new BDI Nora Home Theater Furniture

These steps are to be followed after you have unpackaged and completed the simple assembly instructions for
your Nora AV stand. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors and drawers on your Nora
stand 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 on your Nora unit.

STEP 1 - Level your Nora unit

Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed from inside the cabinet. If your floor is uneven,
you may extend one or more levelers (with the provided Hex Wrench (B)) to attain a level, stable cabinet
placement. Turning the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.

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

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

STEP 2 - 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 cau se 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 Nora’s door hinges:

within the frame. Make minor adjustments at both top and

•ByadjustingScrew(s) 2, the door will move UP or DOWN
within the frame (the top and bottom hinges must be adjusted
the same degree).
NOTE: Loosen Screws 2 one complete turn, raise or lower
door, then hold in position while tightening Screws 2 (on both
hinges).
•Byadjusting Screw 3 the entire door will move IN or OUT,
opening or closing the gap between the door frame and cabinet.

(This screw rarely needs adjustment.)
