Placement and Maintenance

subject to fading under direct sunlight. BDI’s unique Graphite finish
has properties that make it more sensitive than others. Please avoid
placing BDI’s Graphite finish in direct sunlight.

For missing hardware pieces, please contact BDI Customer Service
at [email protected]. For all other concerns, please
contact your BDI Retailer.

CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on tops
and sides.
Fine tuning your new BDI Cavo Home Theater Furniture
These steps are to be followed after you have unpackaged and completed the simple assembly instructions
for your Cavo AV stand. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your Cavo stand
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 Cavo unit.
STEP 1 - Level your Cavo unit
Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet leg and are
hand-adjustable. 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.

INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.
STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)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.
Because these hinges are infinitely adjustable, adjusting
one hinge element can sometimes cause the need for
adjustments to other elements. But with a few adjustments,
you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make
sure that they hang perfectly within your cabinet.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust Cavo's door hinges:
•By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.
•ByadjustingScrew(s) 2, the door will move UP or DOWN
within the frame (the top and bottom hinges must be adjusted
the same degree).
NOTE: Loosen Screws 2, raise or lower door, then hold in
position while tightening Screws 2 (on both hinges).
•Byadjusting Screw 3 the entire door will move IN or
OUT, opening or closing the gap between the door frame and
cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)
