CONFIGURATIONS
Endless Possibilities
Linea can be configured in endless ways. Below are a few examples. Configurations up to 3 units
wide may be assembled on the floor, stood up and carefully positioned. It is also possible to
assemble 1 unit, stand it up, and add additional units to it. Every configuration requires 1 base unit
and then additional units. Base units come with 2 end panels, and each add on unit always includes
1 inner panel.
The following pages will show how to assemble a kit of 2 units shown below—which is a 5802 and a
5801A. Your configuration may differ, but the assembly method will be the same.

STEP 18. INSTALL SHELVES AND LEVEL
ASSEMBLY
Attach 16 (H11) Shelf Pins into the threaded holes
of each cabinet section using a (T1) Phillips Screwdriver—choose preferred interior shelf
height. Install (C6) Outer Glass Shelves on the
shelf pins, tilting the glass slightly to avoid hitting
side panels. Tilt and install (C7) Inner Glass Shelf
inside the cabinet.
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
adjustments to the European hinges on each
door. Because these hinges are adjustable, adjusting one hinge can sometimes cause the need for
adjustments to other hinges. 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 loosening both Screws 2 on both hinges, the door can move UP or DOWN. Retighten the screws.
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.
