DOOR ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
After leveling the cabinet, the doors must be aligned so that they are even with
each other, square with the cabinet and create an airtight seal inside the cabinet.
Air leaks caused by improper door alignment will compromise the environment inside
the cabinet, and may create condensation which, left untreated, will cause warping
of the door. Follow the instructions below to properly align your door(s).
 If your cabinet has only one door, the plane of the top of the door should be
parallel to the plane of the cabinet. If the non-hinge (i.e. left) corner of the
door is higher than the cabinet, go to the BACK RIGHT CORNER of the cabinet
and turn the leveling foot once CLOCKWISE, which will raise the right/back of
the cabinet and lower corner of the front door. If the non-hinge corner is lower
than the cabinet, go to the BACK LEFT CORNER of the cabinet and turn the
leveling foot once CLOCKWISE, which will raise the left/back of the cabinet so
that it is even with the corner of the front door. After adjusting the feet, open
and shut the door, and check again to see if the door is aligned.
 If the top corner of a door is sticking out more than 1/8 inch, you have "top
torque". If the bottom corner of a door is sticking out more than 1/8 inch, you
have "bottom torque". To fix torque, if your cabinet has six leveling feet, start by
raising the two center leveling feet so that those feet aren’t touching the floor.
For top torque, go to the BACK CORNER LEVELING FOOT on the OPPOSITE SIDE
of the torqued door and turn CLOCKWISE. For bottom torque, go to the BACK
CORNER LEVELING FOOT on the SAME SIDE as the torqued door and turn
CLOCKWISE. When the torque has been fixed (tolerances up to 1/8 inch are
acceptable), lower the center leveling feet until they touch the floor.
 IF YOU ARE PLACING YOUR WINE CABINET ON CARPET: Much of the weight of
an EMPTY wine cabinet resides in the doors. If your wine cabinet is tilting
forward when first placed on the carpet or a carpet board, DO NOT over-
compensate by extending the front leveling feet. Instead, load some bottles
into the back of the wine cabinet until the weight is more evenly distributed,
and adjust the leveling feet so that the wine cabinet is level front-to-back. The
cabinet no longer should be leaning forward at this point.
