Drawer-front adjustments
-
Adjust the side-to-side position
Locate the side-adjustment controls at the front of the drawer sides.
Turn the appropriate adjustment control gradually to move the drawer front left or right.
Make small adjustments and close the drawer regularly to check the gaps on both sides.
The RIVA drawer system provides approximately 1.5mm of adjustment in either direction.
-
Adjust the drawer-front height
Locate the height-adjustment controls at the front of the drawer sides.
Turn the controls gradually to raise or lower the drawer front.
Adjust the left and right sides separately until the drawer front is level and the gaps above and below are even.
The RIVA drawer system provides approximately 1.5mm of height adjustment in either direction.
-
Adjust the drawer-front tilt
Locate the tilt-adjustment controls at the rear of the drawer sides.
Turn the controls to adjust the angle of the drawer front. This moves the top of the drawer front forwards or backwards.
Adjust both sides evenly, then close the drawer and check that the front sits in line with the cabinet.
The tilt control provides up to 4mm of adjustment.
-
Remove the drawer
Fully extend the drawer and locate the release buttons underneath the front of the runners.
Press and hold the release buttons while pulling the drawer forwards and lifting it upwards.
The drawer will release from the runners so it can be removed from the cabinet.
Support the drawer with both hands while releasing it, particularly if it contains any items.
Check the final alignment
Replace the cover caps, then open and close the drawer several times.
Check that the drawer operates smoothly and that its front sits level with even gaps around the cabinet and neighbouring drawer fronts.
If the drawer still appears uneven, make another small adjustment and check it again. Avoid making large changes to multiple controls at once.
