Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your SIGOEI drawer slides. Please follow these steps carefully. Ensure you have the correct dimensions for your furniture before beginning.

4.1 Important Considerations

• Suitable for drawer depth of 14 inches (350 mm).
• Drawer width should be equal to Cabinet inner width minus 1.6 inches (42mm).

• Drawer slides can only be installed if there are side panels on both sides of the cabinet opening.

4.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet opening is clean and clear. Verify that the inner width and depth meet the specifications.
2. Separate the Slide Rails: The quick release handle allows separation of the drawer-mounted part from the cabinet-mounted part. Press the handle to separate the two sections.
3. Install Cabinet Rails: Position the cabinet section of the slide rail inside the cabinet opening. Ensure the slide rails on both sides are kept parallel. Punch mounting holes at the corresponding positions and fasten the screws securely.
4. Install Drawer Rails: Attach the drawer section of the slide rail to the bottom of your drawer. Mark the back hook of the slide rail on the drawer and make mounting holes. Fasten the screws.
5. Assemble Drawer: Align the drawer with the installed cabinet rails. Push the drawer in until you hear the handle click, indicating that the drawer is securely engaged with the slides.

5. Operating Instructions

The SIGOEI drawer slides are designed for intuitive operation, featuring full extension and a soft-close mechanism.

• Opening the Drawer: Simply pull the drawer front to open. The full extension design allows the drawer to slide out completely, providing easy access to items at the back.
• Closing the Drawer (Soft-Close): To close the drawer, gently push it inwards. The soft-close mechanism will engage automatically, slowly and quietly pulling the drawer shut without any slamming.
• Removing the Drawer: To remove the drawer from the cabinet, locate the quick release handles on the underside of the drawer (where the slides are attached). Press both handles simultaneously and pull the drawer outwards to disengage it from the cabinet rails. This is useful for cleaning or accessing the cabinet interior.

5.1 Push-to-Open Function (for compatible variants)

While this specific product variant is “Soft Close Without Bracket”, some SIGOEI drawer slides offer a push-to-open feature. If you have a compatible variant, a gentle push on the drawer front will cause it to spring open slightly, allowing you to pull it out fully. This feature is typically found on handle-less drawer designs.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the long-term smooth operation of your drawer slides, minimal maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the visible parts of the slides with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or internal mechanisms.
• Lubrication: Under normal household use, these slides are designed to be maintenance-free and do not typically require lubrication. If you notice any stiffness or unusual noise after extended use, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
• Inspection: Occasionally check the mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can affect performance and stability.
