2.Remove the drawer from the unit. See Step 3 in the “Unpacking” section.

3.Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the marks on each side of toe plate.

4.Use scissors or utility knife to cut toe plate along line.

5.Replace drawer. If toe plate still rubs floor covering, repeat steps 1-4.
