Handle Installation

The door latch handle and the damper handle are left off for 

shipping, and will need to be installed. Both handles and their 

bolts are packaged in the hardware bag. The shorter bolt 

(2-1/4") will be used for the damper handle, and the longer 

bolt (2-1/2") is for the door handle. Insert the bolt through the 

open end of the handle, then thread the bolt into the latch 

or the damper drive arm. Tighten only hand tight to prevent 

cracking of the wooden knob.

slide-assist rollers

The insert bottom is equipped with rollers to aid in moving. 

There are two stationary rollers toward the rear of the 

appliance, and one engaging roller in the front. To engage 

the front roller for movement, you'll first need to remove the 

lower base cover. As shown above, the cover is installed 

with a screw at each end of it. Remove these screws using 

a 5/16 socket or driver. Slide the cover toward the front and 

set aside. 
To engage the roller; begin by lifting the roller up and forward 

in its brackets. This will get the roller in its ready position. 

Lift the front of the insert body approximately 1/4 inch. If 

needed, the front leveling bolts can be tightened in to lift the 

insert. With the body raised, pull the roller down and hold it 

forward to lock it in the down position. You will need to hold 

the roller into place while the insert is lowered. 
Once the insert is in place, lift the front of the body 

approximately 1/4" and the roller will disengage when you 

lower the body. It is up to you if you want to raise the roller 

and lock it in to the disengaged position.
