5. Installation Guide

Follow these steps for proper installation of your LONTAN undermount drawer slides.

5.1 Preparing the Drawer

Before installing the slides, prepare your drawer by making necessary cuts if it has a border at the deepest part of the bottom. This ensures the slides can be installed flush.

5.2 Installing Slides in Frameless Cabinets

For frameless cabinets, simply install the slides directly onto the cabinet side panels using screws. No rear mounting bracket is needed.

5.3 Installing Slides in Face Frame Cabinets

For face frame cabinets, you must first install the rear mounting bracket at the deepest part of the cabinet to support the track. These brackets are included in your package. Once the brackets are secured, attach the slides to the face frame and the brackets.

5.4 Attaching the Drawer

Once the slides are securely mounted in the cabinet, align the grooves on both sides of the drawer with the slides and gently push the drawer into place until the locking mechanism engages.

5.5 Adjustments

The 1D adjustable locking device allows for front panel tilt adjustment to ensure perfect alignment of your drawer front with the cabinet. Rotate the side adjustment to meet your needs.

6. Operating Instructions

To operate your LONTAN soft close drawer slides, simply pull the drawer open to access its contents. When closing, gently push the drawer until the soft close mechanism engages, allowing it to close smoothly and quietly without slamming. The full extension feature ensures complete access to the entire drawer space.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the slides periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: The slides are pre-lubricated. If operation becomes less smooth over time, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Inspection: Regularly check all mounting screws and brackets to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and performance.

8. Troubleshooting

• Drawer not closing smoothly: Check for obstructions in the slide mechanism. Ensure the drawer is not overloaded beyond the 100lb capacity. Verify that the soft close mechanism is functioning correctly.
• Drawer not opening fully: Ensure the slides are fully extended and not obstructed. Check for proper alignment of the drawer with the cabinet.
• Drawer is wobbly: Tighten all mounting screws on both the drawer and cabinet sides. Ensure the slides are installed parallel to each other.
• Drawer front misalignment: Use the 1D adjustable locking device to fine-tune the tilt and position of the drawer front.
