After applying the tambour tape, slide the spring-loaded roller with the connector rings over the top tambour profi le.
Carpet orientation should be as shown in Fig. 5.
Caution!Do not pre-load the spring-loaded roller mechanism before it is installed into the cabinet.
Line up the spring-loaded roller and position it until the distance between the right edge of the tambour carpet and the right edge of the spring-loaded roller (marked with an “R”) is 9 mm. (Fig. 6)
Secure tambour to each ring connector with a screw 3 x 13 mm.
Roll the tambour carpet around the spring-loaded roller.
Temporarily tape the rolled up carpet for installation.
Lay the tambour on the table with the adhe-sive tape at the front.
Push the brackets onto the guide roller and spring-loaded roller. (Fig. 7)
The unit is ready for installation.

Screw 2.5 mm
* For cabinet heights < 1000 mm** For cabinet heights > 1000 mm** For cabinet heights > 1000 mm
Mark the position of the guide roller and pre-drill a hole 8 mm in diameter. Fit the positioning dowel. (Fig. 9)
Mark the position of the back fi xing hole. Pre-drill a hole 2.5 mm in diameter using the end bracket as a template. Make sure the end bracket as a template. Make sure the end bracket is pushed against the front the end bracket is pushed against the front dowel. (Fig. 10)
A wood or metal cross member should be positioned underneath the front end of the positioned underneath the front end of the end brackets as an upper limit stop for the door (Fig. 10). Another solution is a shelf directly below the C3 system to hide the system. Clearance between the bottom of the rolled up carpet and the shelf must be 10 mm.
110 mm*110 mm* 130 mm** 130 mm**
There should be a minimum gap of 10 mm between the rolled up carpet and the top of the cabinet.
Track FabricationDetermine the length of the running track using the following diagram.
Installation
Installing the Running TracksScrew the running tracks onto the cabinet.
Install top and bottom end cap using pan head screws. (Fig. 11)
Snap on frame cover as shown (Fig. 12 )

Assembly of the Handle Profi lePull the carpet out beyond the bottom of the cabinet. Insert the handle profi le. (Fig. 16)
Push the carpet with the handle profi le attached back into the running track.
Note: If using Metallic Line Grip Handle Profi le, travel stops are required. With door partially open, screw stops into the rear of the handle profi le.
Final AssemblyPush the end caps onto the running tracks. Countertop units require 2 end caps for the tops of the tracks. Wall mounted units require 4 end caps.
Fig. 16
Assembly of the Tambour UnitWhen installing the tambour system make sure that the end marked with R is on the right side of the cabinet. Do not pre-tension the tambour unit at this time.
Place the tambour unit onto the positioning dowels with the guide roller at the front of the cabinet, and screw the bracket into the pre-drilled fi xing holes on both sides. (Fig. 13)
Secure the end bracket with two more screws. (Fig. 14)
Pre-tension the rolled up tambour carpet in a counter-clockwise direction. (Fig. 14)
Remove the temporary adhesive tape. Hold the tambour carpet and pull it over the guide roller into the running tracks. (Fig. 15)
Warning!The carpet must be held during this pro-cess, otherwise the pre-tension will cause spinning.

Tambour Carpet Installation
There are several ways to install the tam-bour carpet in the cabinet depending on the cabinet design. On some designs the bottom panel can be removed for carpet installation. In some cases it is necessary to “expand” the cabinet. This is done at the center of the cabinet perpendicular to the closing direction, using a piece of wood as aid. The piece of wood should be ap-
proximately 10 mm longer than the internal
width or height of the cabinet, depending on its orientation. The diagram shows this concept for a vertical application.
