4. Operating Instructions
The VADANIA Push-to-Open drawer slides are designed for effortless, handle-free operation.
4.1 Opening the Drawer
To open a drawer equipped with these slides, gently push or press the drawer front inward. The push-to-open mechanism will engage, causing the drawer to release and extend slightly. You can then pull the drawer out fully to access its contents.
4.2 Closing the Drawer
To close the drawer, simply push it back into the cabinet until it fully retracts and the push-to-open mechanism latches, holding the drawer securely in its closed position.

5. Maintenance
VADANIA drawer slides are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. To ensure smooth operation and longevity:
- Periodically inspect the slides for any accumulated dust or debris. Clean with a dry cloth if necessary.
- Avoid applying excessive force when opening or closing drawers, as this can strain the mechanism.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the slides, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your VADANIA drawer slides, consider the following:
- Drawer not opening/closing smoothly: Check for obstructions in the slide mechanism or debris accumulation. Ensure the drawer is not overloaded beyond the 88 lb capacity.
- Drawer not staying closed: Verify that the push-to-open mechanism is engaging correctly. This might indicate a misalignment or a need to adjust the drawer front.
- Drawer feels loose or wobbly: Re-check all mounting screws on both the cabinet and drawer sides to ensure they are securely fastened.
