Installation Steps:

1. Position the pre-assembled chrome frame and slide system inside your cabinet on the floor. Ensure it is aligned correctly within the cabinet opening.
2. Mark the locations for the four mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes in the base of the frame.
3. Use a power drill to create pilot holes if necessary, then secure the frame to the cabinet floor using the provided screws.
4. Place the 35-quart waste container into the secured frame. The adjustable wire crossbar will help secure the bin.
5. For an integrated door-mount system, remove the handle and mount the unit to the cabinet door using the optional 5WB-DMKIT (sold separately).

Operating Instructions

Your Rev-A-Shelf pullout trash can features a smooth-gliding mechanism for easy access.

Using the Pullout System:

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Rev-A-Shelf pullout trash can.

Cleaning:

• Waste Container: The 35-quart plastic bin can be easily removed and washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before returning it to the frame.
• Chrome Frame and Slides: Wipe down the chrome frame and ball-bearing slides with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Ensure the slides are dry after cleaning to prevent rust.

Lubrication:

Periodically, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the ball-bearing slides to maintain smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and debris.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your pullout trash can, refer to the following common solutions:

Difficulty Sliding:

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no debris or objects are blocking the slide mechanism or the path of the trash can within the cabinet.
• Clean Slides: Dirt or grime can accumulate on the slides. Clean them thoroughly as described in the Maintenance section.
• Lubricate Slides: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the ball-bearing slides if they feel stiff.
• Verify Installation: Confirm that the frame is securely mounted and level. Loose screws or an uneven installation can affect sliding performance.

Bin Not Secure:

• Adjust Crossbar: Ensure the adjustable wire crossbar is properly positioned and tightened to hold the bin firmly in place.
• Correct Bin Placement: Verify that the 35-quart container is correctly seated within the frame.
