Place marking-out level over the installation aid parts on the door.

The installation aid parts on the door have been designed for the following total thickness of furniture doors:

3/4" (19 mm)

11/2" (38 mm)

Always take account of the possible differing thickness of the furniture fronts which are to be fitted subsequently.

The height-adjustable feet at the front and rear can all be adjusted from the front.

Front:with open-ended wrench 1/2" (SW13) Rear:with 5/16" (8 mm) hex nut driver via flexible shaft.

A mark is attached to the appliance base and is used as

a standard gage for height adjustment. When adjusting the height, align this mark at a height of 11/2" (32 mm) above the floor.

̈Unscrew the height-adjustable feet until the mark on

the base has reached the indicated guide dimension (11/4" / 32 mm).

NOTE

It is very important to comply with this dimension for the subsequent alignment of the furniture fronts.

̈Align the furniture fronts with the spirit level.
