FINE TUNING

LEVEL CABINET

Levelers are accessed at the bottom of each leg.
If your floor is uneven, extend one or more levelers
using (T2) Hex Leveler Wrench to attain a level,
stable cabinet placement. Turning the leveler
clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter­clockwise will retract it. Leveling the cabinet will

improve door alignment.

FINE TUNING ADJUST DOOR HINGES (IF NEEDED)

These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions
for your console. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your cabinet may
not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation. The
high-quality European hinge hardware is adjustable. Through a little adjustment, you can modify the
orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they are sitting perfectly on your unit.

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 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 (T1) PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER to adjust the door hinges:

n By adjusting SCREW 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT within the frame. Make minor

adjustments at both top and bottom hinges for best results.

n By adjusting SCREW 2, the door will move UP or DOWN.

n 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.)

CARE & MAINTENANCE

GLASS

Glass surface is maintained using household glass cleaner and a paper towel or cloth.

SATIN-ETCHED GLASS

This uniquely smooth-to-the-touch glass surface can be regularly maintained using household glass
cleaner and a paper towel or cloth. Minor scratches or scuffs not eliminated using paper towel or cloth
can usually be removed by using a ‘Magic Eraser’. Magic Eraser is a melamine foam product available
at any grocery store or home improvement center. Dampen the entire glass surface as well as the
Magic Eraser, then rub the entire glass surface in broad, even strokes using moderate pressure. Clean
and dry the surface with a paper towel. Check for results and repeat as necessary.

Any scratches or scuffing not eliminated by one of the above methods can often be addressed by
‘refreshing’ the glass. This is a process that should not be required more than once per 6-12 months.
See this brief video for the simple method: www.bdiusa.com/glass

WOOD

Wood surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. Do not
use glass cleaner on wood. If moisture remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle
non-abrasive cleanser may be used, but be sure to wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface
with a cloth.

BDI’s wood finishes feature natural hardwood solids and veneers. Wood is a product of nature and—
unlike man-made materials that can be manufactured to strict and consistent specifications—has
natural imperfections that are part of its appeal and character. Every piece of wood differs from every
other, even when coming from the very same tree. As such, variation in grain, texture and tone should
be expected from one panel or piece of furniture to the next.

While BDI’s stained wood finishes are stable in tone & appearance, all finishes are subject to some
degree of discoloration with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Please take care to avoid
positioning your BDI cabinet in any area with extensive direct sunlight. To learn more about the
features of natural wood, visit www.bdiusa.com/wood

METAL & PAINTED SURFACES

Surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. If moisture
remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle non-abrasive cleanser may be used,
but be sure to wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface with a cloth.
