|
|
|
|
|

|
- Lay your drawer front as shown with the inside top marked in pencil
- REMEMBER to deduct the side clearance before marking the drawer front
- Just to clarify, the side clearance is 4mm because the unit is 500mm wide and the drawer front is 496mm wide

- Mark the line on your drawer front as shown
|

|
|
|
|
|
