Installation Steps
Step 1: Prepare Installation Space
Ensure the installation space meets the required dimensions. Key clearances include:
- Minimum top clearance: 550 mm
- Minimum rear clearance: 596 mm
- Minimum side clearance: 550 mm
- Unit height: 819 mm + 70 mm adjustment
- Unit width: 600 mm
- Unit depth: 550 mm
- Specific internal cabinet dimensions for mounting brackets are indicated, e.g., 170 mm from the front edge for one set of brackets, and 25-80 mm for another. A minimum of 25 mm is required for ventilation at the rear base.

Step 11: Connect Door to Sliding Mechanism
This multi-part step involves connecting the door to the installed sliding runners. It includes inserting components into tracks, securing parts with screws, and sliding the door onto the runners.
Diagrams illustrating the process of attaching the door to the sliding runners, referencing steps 16 and 18.
Step 12: Measure and Mark Sliding Tracks
Measure and mark the positions for the sliding mechanism on the countertop or cabinet to ensure correct alignment and operation.
