3. Installation Instructions

Proper installation ensures the functionality and appearance of your finger pull. The Emtek 86151US10B includes all necessary fasteners.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pencil
• Drill with appropriate drill bit (typically 3/16" or 5mm for cabinet hardware screws)
• Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on screw type)

Installation Steps:

1. Determine Placement: Carefully measure and mark the desired location for the finger pull on your cabinet door or drawer. Ensure consistent placement for multiple pulls.
2. Drill Pilot Hole: Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter, carefully drill a pilot hole through the marked location. Ensure the hole is straight and clean to prevent wood splitting.
3. Attach Finger Pull: Align the finger pull with the drilled hole. Insert the provided screw from the inside of the cabinet door/drawer through the pilot hole and into the threaded receiver on the finger pull.
4. Secure Tight: Using a screwdriver, tighten the screw until the finger pull is firmly secured against the cabinet surface. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the cabinet or the pull's finish.
5. Test Functionality: Gently pull on the installed hardware to ensure it is securely attached and functions as intended.

For best results, consider using a cabinet hardware jig for precise and repeatable hole drilling, especially when installing multiple pulls.

4. Operation

The Emtek 86151US10B Modern Finger Pull is designed for simple and intuitive operation. To open a cabinet door or drawer, place your finger into the recessed area of the pull and apply gentle outward force. The ergonomic design allows for comfortable gripping and smooth operation.

5. Care and Maintenance

To maintain the finish and functionality of your Emtek finger pull, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Periodic Inspection: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screw. If the pull feels loose, gently tighten the screw with a screwdriver.
• Protect Finish: Avoid direct contact with sharp objects or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
