How do I remove a RATIONELL drawer purchased after September 2013?
To remove the drawer from the runner, you need to press a small plastic catch located on the side of the sliding mechanism.
Follow these steps to remove your RATIONELL drawer from the rail in the cabinet:
- Pull the drawer out completely – as far as it will go.
- Feel along the outer edge of the drawer runners – there is a plastic catch.
- Press the plastic catch upwards – this will release the drawer from the runner.
It’s a simple mechanism, but the plastic catch can be a bit tricky to find the first time.
A tip is to use a flashlight if it’s dark inside the cabinet.
