3.3 Installation Steps (General Guidance)

1. Prepare the Drawer and Cabinet: Ensure the drawer box and cabinet opening are correctly sized according to the slide specifications. The nominal slide length (NL) should match the depth of your cabinet, and the drawer length (SKL) should be slightly shorter than the slide length.
2. Attach the Hook for Fixing the Drawer: The practical hook design helps stabilize the drawer during operation and prevents accidental inward sliding.

4. Operating Instructions

These drawer slides are designed for simple and efficient operation.

• Opening the Drawer: Pull the drawer handle to open. The full extension design allows the drawer to extend completely, providing full access to its contents.
• Closing the Drawer: Gently push the drawer towards the cabinet. The integrated soft-close mechanism will engage, slowly and silently pulling the drawer shut for the last few inches. Avoid forcing the drawer closed, as this can bypass the soft-close feature.
• Quiet Operation: The hydraulic damping system ensures minimal noise during opening and closing, contributing to a quiet environment.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your LONTAN drawer slides, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the slides periodically with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the galvanized finish.
• Lubrication: The slides are pre-lubricated. If operation becomes less smooth over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can affect performance and stability.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 100 LB per drawer to prevent damage to the slides and drawer structure.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your drawer slides, consider the following common solutions:

• Drawer not closing softly: Ensure the drawer is not overloaded. Check for any obstructions in the slide mechanism. Verify that the hydraulic rod is clean and free of debris.
• Drawer sticking or difficult to open/close: Check if the slides are installed level and parallel. Ensure all mounting screws are tight. Inspect the slides for any bent or damaged parts. Clean any accumulated dust or debris.
• Drawer wobbles: This often indicates loose mounting screws or an uneven installation. Re-tighten all screws and verify the slides are level.
• Drawer not extending fully: Check for obstructions at the back of the cabinet or drawer. Ensure the 3-section mechanism is not jammed.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.

7. Safety Information

The concealed design of these undermount slides enhances safety by reducing pinch points and providing a cleaner, less exposed mechanism. Always ensure drawers are properly installed and secured to prevent accidental detachment. Do not allow children to hang on or climb into open drawers.
