These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions
for your Corridor AV cabinet. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your
Corridor cabinet may not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can
rectify this situation. Be aware that depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are
required. The high-quality European hinge hardware is infinitely adjustable, but changing one element
can cause the need for further adjustments. Through a little adjustment, you can modify the orientation
of the cabinet doors to make sure that they are sitting perfectly on your Corridor unit.
CORRECT!
Door is sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on tops and sides.
INCORRECT!
Door is out of alignment
with the rest of the unit.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly
and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet
leg using (B2) Open Mouth Wrench. If your
floor is uneven, you may extend one or more
levelers to attain a level, stable cabinet
placement. Turning the leveler clockwise will
extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise
will retract it.

The doors on your cabinet should be evenly
spaced and the doors should open and close freely
without rubbing against the door frame.
If the cabinet’s doors appear out of alignment, this
condition can be corrected with minor adjustment
to the European hinges on each door.
Use a (A) Phillips Screwdriver to adjust Corridor’s door hinges:
nBy adjusting Screw 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT within the frame. Make minor
adjustments at both top and bottom hinges for best results.
nBy adjusting Screw 2 the entire door will move IN or OUT, opening or closing the gap between
the door frame and cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)

CARE & MAINTENANCE
GLASS
Glass surface is maintained using household glass cleaner and a paper towel or cloth.
SATIN-ETCHED GLASS
This uniquely smooth-to-the-touch glass surface can be regularly maintained using household glass
cleaner and a paper towel or cloth. Minor scratches or scuffs not eliminated using paper towel or cloth
can usually be removed by using a ‘Magic Eraser’. Magic Eraser is a melamine foam product available
at any grocery store or home improvement center. Dampen the entire glass surface as well as the
Magic Eraser, then rub the entire glass surface in broad, even strokes using moderate pressure. Clean
and dry the surface with a paper towel. Check for results and repeat as necessary.
Any scratches or scuffing not eliminated by one of the above methods can often be addressed by
‘refreshing’ the glass. This is a process that should not be required more than once per 6-12 months.
See this brief video for the simple method: www.bdiusa.com/glass
WOOD
Wood surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. Do not
use glass cleaner on wood. If moisture remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle
non-abrasive cleanser may be used, but be sure to wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface
with a cloth.
BDI’s wood finishes feature natural hardwood solids and veneers. Wood is a product of nature and—
unlike man-made materials that can be manufactured to strict and consistent specifications—has
natural imperfections that are part of its appeal and character. Every piece of wood differs from every
other, even when coming from the very same tree. As such, variation in grain, texture and tone should
be expected from one panel or piece of furniture to the next.
While BDI’s stained wood finishes are stable in tone & appearance, all finishes are subject to some
degree of discoloration with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Please take care to avoid
positioning your BDI cabinet in any area with extensive direct sunlight. To learn more about the
features of natural wood, visit www.bdiusa.com/wood
METAL & PAINTED SURFACES
Surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. If moisture
remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle non-abrasive cleanser may be used,
but be sure to wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface with a cloth.
