4. Setup and Installation

The Hardware Resources RO12-WB Rollout Shelf System comes pre-assembled for your convenience, making installation quick and easy. It is designed to mount directly to the bottom of your cabinet.

Required Tools:

• Measuring Tape
• Pencil
• Drill with appropriate drill bit (for pilot holes)
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet opening is clean and clear of any obstructions. Verify that the minimum opening width of 12 inches is met.
2. Position the Shelf: Carefully place the pre-assembled rollout shelf system into the cabinet opening. Position it to your desired depth, ensuring it is centered and aligned within the cabinet.
3. Mark Mounting Holes: With the shelf in its final position, use a pencil to mark the locations of the mounting holes on the cabinet bottom through the pre-drilled holes in the slide mechanisms.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Remove the rollout shelf from the cabinet. Using a drill, create small pilot holes at the marked locations. This helps prevent wood splitting and ensures screws go in straight.
5. Secure the Shelf: Place the rollout shelf back into the cabinet, aligning the mounting holes with the pilot holes. Insert the provided screws and securely fasten the shelf system to the cabinet bottom using a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
6. Test Operation: Gently pull the shelf out and push it back in to ensure smooth operation and proper soft-close functionality.

5. Operating Instructions

To operate your rollout shelf, simply grasp the front edge of the shelf and gently pull it forward to extend it from the cabinet. The soft-close slides will ensure a smooth and controlled extension. When returning the shelf, push it back into the cabinet. The soft-close mechanism will engage as the shelf approaches the closed position, preventing it from slamming shut.

Avoid placing excessively heavy items on the shelf that exceed its weight capacity, as this may affect the smooth operation of the slides and potentially damage the system.

6. Maintenance

The UV-coated wood surface of your rollout shelf is designed for durability and easy cleaning.

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the UV coating.
• Slide Care: The soft-close slides are generally maintenance-free. If you notice any stiffness or unusual noise, ensure no debris is obstructing the slide mechanism. Do not apply oil or grease to the slides unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as this can attract dust and hinder performance.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

Most issues with the rollout shelf system can be resolved with simple checks.

• Shelf does not slide smoothly:
  • Check for obstructions in the slide mechanism or on the cabinet bottom.
  • Ensure the shelf is not overloaded.
  • Verify that the mounting screws are securely tightened and the shelf is level.
• Soft-close mechanism not engaging:
  • Ensure the shelf is pushed fully into the cabinet.
  • Check for any debris preventing the mechanism from fully engaging.
• Shelf appears wobbly:
  • Confirm all mounting screws are tight.
  • Ensure the cabinet bottom is stable and level.
