4. Operating Instructions
The NORDLI chest is designed for easy and quiet operation. Each of the four drawers features a hidden runner system and an integrated damper for soft-closing functionality.
- Opening Drawers: Gently pull the integrated handle to open the drawer.
- Closing Drawers: Push the drawer inward. The integrated damper will engage, slowly and quietly closing the drawer completely. Avoid forcing the drawer shut, as this can damage the mechanism.
- Loading Drawers: The drawers are designed to run smoothly even when heavily loaded. Distribute weight evenly to maintain optimal function.
