Assembling the Drawer Front

The bottom of the lower overlay panel will line up with the
bottom of the adjacent cabinetry and may not line up with
the bottom of the actual drawer itself. See graphic below.
1. Starting at the corners and working toward the center, push
the drawer gasket back into place. Repeat for both drawers.
Panel Installation
1. Place prepared panel against drawer front and secure with
clamps.
2. Be certain the panel is aligned flush with the top of the drawer
handle.
3. Using a #6 Drill bit, drill 8 pilot holes into the wood panel 3/8"
deep.
It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to
the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood
when hardware is installed.
4. Locate the 8 #6x2" screws provided in the overlay panel install
kit.
5. Using a Phillips head and #6x2 screws, screw the drawer panel
to the drawer front.
6. Be sure the screws force their way past the opening on the
gasket channel and sit flush against the bottom of the gasket
channel.
Checking Drawer Alignment
NOTICE
Drawer panel and overlay panel must be aligned properly
or the drawer will not operate correctly.
The unit’s drawers are aligned at the factory before shipment.
However, their alignment could have been disturbed during
shipment or during overlay panel installation.

• Side-to-Side — When viewed from the top, the drawer front
should be square with the sides of the cabinet.

front should be straight with the cabinet’s sides, not cocked
forward or back.
• Top-to-Bottom — When viewed from the front, the drawer
should be level horizontally.
If either drawer is not aligned, carefully follow instructions
provided in the Use & Care Manual to remove that drawer, make
the necessary adjustment and re-install the drawer.
