Setup and Installation

Accurate measurements are crucial for a proper fit. Consider your cabinet type (face frame or frameless) and any obstructions like hinges or plumbing.

• Width (W): Measure the opening width, accounting for any protruding hinges.
• Height (H): Measure the total height from the top edge to the bottom.
• Depth (D): Measure from the back wall to the front edge where the door sits.

Minimum Opening Dimensions for Model 5WB2-1222CR-1:

• Face Frame Cabinet: 11.5"W x 22.25"D x 19.5"H
• Frameless Cabinet: 11.75"W x 22.25"D x 19.5"H

Step 2: Installation Process (4-Screw Method)

The organizer comes pre-assembled. Follow these steps for quick installation:

1. Position the Frame: Gather the included hardware. Place the organizer frame inside your cabinet at the desired location. Ensure to account for space needed for hinges and the cabinet door to close properly.
2. Secure the Slides: Attach the slide mechanism to the face frame of the cabinet, positioning it 1/4 inch back from the cabinet opening. If installing in a frameless cabinet, attach it directly to the sidewall.
3. Attach Support Brackets: Secure the support brackets to the cabinet base using the provided wood screws.
4. Insert Baskets: Use the remaining screws to mount the rear of the frame to the cabinet floor. Verify that the baskets extend smoothly and that your cabinet door closes fully. Make any necessary adjustments.

• Pulling Out: Gently pull the front of either basket to slide it out of the cabinet. The full-extension ball-bearing slides ensure smooth and complete access to items at the back.
• Pushing In: Push the basket back into the cabinet until it is fully recessed. Ensure no items obstruct the movement or prevent the cabinet door from closing.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your Rev-A-Shelf pullout organizer.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the chrome-plated steel wire baskets and frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild household cleaner and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
• Slide Lubrication: The ball-bearing slides are pre-lubricated. If movement becomes stiff over time, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the slide mechanisms. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and mounting hardware to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Weight Distribution: Always ensure items are distributed evenly within the baskets to prevent strain on the slides and frame.
