2.3 Function
Easys provides electromechanical opening assistance for drawers
and pull-outs. Furniture parts opened by Easys are pushed for-
ward by an ejection pin in response to pulling or pressing on the
front panel. The system is only activated in response to briefly
pressing or pulling on the front panel; pressing on it for any
longer period, e.g. leaning on it, will not result in any opening.
