Measuring Your Space for Compatibility

Accurate measurements are crucial to ensure your Lazy Susan fits correctly within your cabinet. This unit is designed for corner base cabinets with a hinged door that is not attached to the Lazy Susan itself.

1. Identify Your Cabinet Type and Lazy Susan Shape

This Lazy Susan is Kidney-Shaped, specifically designed for right-angled corner cabinets where the cabinet door is hinged and does not attach to the Lazy Susan unit.

2. Measure Your Cabinet Opening

Measure the interior dimensions of your cabinet opening for width, depth, and height. Ensure a 2-inch clearance between the wall and the unit for optimal use.

• Width (W): Measure the width of the cabinet opening.
• Depth (D): Measure the depth from the front edge of the cabinet to the back wall.
• Height (H): Measure the interior height from the cabinet floor to the underside of the top. The adjustable post accommodates 26" to 31" interior cabinet heights.

3. Determine Maximum Diameter

For kidney-shaped Lazy Susans in right-angled cabinets, measure the two diagonal dimensions (D1 and D2) across the cabinet opening. Subtract 2 inches from the smaller of these two measurements to determine the maximum diameter of the Lazy Susan that can fit into the cabinet.

For example, if D1 is 32" and D2 is 30", the maximum diameter is 28" (30" - 2"). This product is a 32" diameter unit, so ensure your measurements accommodate this size.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Cabinet: Ensure your corner base cabinet is clean and clear of any obstructions.
2. Install Base Plate: Position the bottom mounting hardware on the cabinet floor according to the provided template (if replacing an existing unit, use existing holes if compatible). Secure it with screws.
3. Assemble Shelves: Attach the plastic mounting piece to the underside of each kidney-shaped shelf. Ensure it snaps securely into the grooves.
4. Insert Bottom Shelf: Carefully slide the lower kidney-shaped shelf into the cabinet opening. Align the center hole of the shelf with the base plate.
5. Insert Telescoping Pole: Insert the telescoping metal pole through the center hole of the bottom shelf and into the base plate. Ensure it is seated firmly.
6. Install Top Shelf: Slide the upper kidney-shaped shelf onto the telescoping pole. Adjust its height as desired.
7. Secure Top Mounting Hardware: Install the top mounting hardware to the underside of the cabinet top, ensuring the telescoping pole is securely held in place. Adjust the pole by turning it counter-clockwise to extend it, then clockwise to tighten it against the top and bottom mounts.
8. Final Adjustments: Ensure both shelves rotate smoothly and are level. Adjust the height of the upper shelf as needed using the set screw on the pole.

Operating Instructions

Your Rev-A-Shelf Lazy Susan is designed for simple and efficient use.

• Accessing Items: Gently push or pull the edge of a shelf to rotate it. The independent rotation of each shelf allows you to access items at the back of the cabinet without disturbing the other shelf.
• Loading Items: Place items evenly on the shelves to maintain balance and ensure smooth rotation. Avoid overloading any single section.
• Adjusting Shelf Height: If you need to change the height of the upper shelf, loosen the set screw on the pole, slide the shelf to the desired position, and then re-tighten the screw firmly.

Maintenance

To keep your Lazy Susan in optimal condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The polymer shelves are easy to clean. Wipe them down regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware and the telescoping pole to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten any loose screws as necessary.
• Lubrication: If rotation becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rotating mechanisms. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and debris.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Lazy Susan, refer to the following common solutions:

• Shelves not rotating smoothly:
  • Check for uneven weight distribution on the shelves. Redistribute items if necessary.
  • Inspect for any obstructions around the edges of the shelves or the central pole.
  • Ensure all mounting hardware is securely tightened.
  • Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rotating mechanisms if needed.
• Shelves wobbling:
  • Verify that the telescoping pole is fully extended and securely tightened between the top and bottom mounts.
  • Ensure the base and top mounting plates are firmly screwed into the cabinet.
• Difficulty adjusting shelf height:
  • Ensure the set screw is fully loosened before attempting to move the shelf.
  • Check for any debris or residue on the pole that might impede movement.
