6. Installation (Setup)

These instructions are for typical frameless cabinet applications. For face-frame applications, additional hardware (Liberty socket set D806SEC-W-D) and specific techniques may be required. Always refer to the detailed instructions included in your package for precise measurements and steps.

Tools Required:

• Measuring Tape
• Pencil
• Drill
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
• Level

Installation Steps:

1. Separate the Slides: Each drawer slide consists of two main parts: the cabinet member and the drawer member. Extend the slide fully and press the release lever (usually a small black plastic lever) to separate the two sections.
2. Mount Cabinet Members:
   • Determine the desired height for your drawer. Mark the mounting points on the inside of the cabinet. Ensure marks are level.
   • Align the cabinet member of the slide with your marks. The front end of the slide should be flush with the front edge of the cabinet opening (or slightly recessed, depending on your cabinet design).
   • Secure the cabinet member to the cabinet using the provided screws. Use at least two screws at the front and two at the back for stability.
   • Repeat for the other side, ensuring both cabinet members are parallel and level.
3. Mount Drawer Members:
   • Align the drawer member of the slide with the side of your drawer box. The front end of the slide should be flush with the front edge of the drawer box.
   • Secure the drawer member to the side of the drawer box using the provided screws.
   • Repeat for the other side of the drawer box, ensuring both drawer members are parallel.
4. Insert Drawer: Carefully align the drawer members with the cabinet members. Push the drawer gently until the slides engage and the drawer closes smoothly. You should hear a slight click as the slides lock into place.
5. Test Operation: Open and close the drawer several times to ensure smooth operation and full extension. Adjust if necessary.

7. Operation

Operating your Everbilt drawer slides is straightforward:

• Opening: Gently pull the drawer handle to open the drawer. The ball bearing mechanism will allow for smooth, full extension.
• Closing: Push the drawer back into the cabinet. The slides will guide the drawer smoothly until it is fully closed.
• Removing the Drawer: To remove the drawer from the cabinet, fully extend the drawer. Locate the small release levers on each slide (one on each side, typically black plastic). Simultaneously press down on one lever and lift up on the other, then pull the drawer straight out.

8. Maintenance

Everbilt drawer slides are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. Following these simple steps will ensure long-lasting performance:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the slides with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or lubrication.
• Lubrication: The ball bearings are pre-lubricated for life and generally do not require additional lubrication. If the slides become stiff over time, a very light application of a silicone-based lubricant (avoiding oil-based lubricants that attract dust) can be applied to the bearing tracks.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the slides for any signs of wear, damage, or loose screws. Tighten any loose screws immediately.
• Load Capacity: Do not overload drawers beyond the specified 100 lbs. capacity, as this can cause premature wear or damage to the slides.
