OPENING THE DOORS
While empty the cabinet is prone to tipping due to the weight of the doors when opened. It
is best to open only one door at a time or make sure the entire cabinet is supported when
opening both doors at the same time.
MOVING THE CABINET
Once the cabinet is fully assembled it is OK to tip the wine cabinet forward, backwards or
on its side in order to get it through a doorway. However,
you should NEVER PUSH,
PULL OR LIFT the cabinet by its doors.
If you need to remove the door(s) to get the cabinet through a doorway, simply remove the
top hinge at the top corner(s) of the cabinet (three screws) and lift the door straight up until
it slides out of the bottom hinge. When setting the door down on the floor, be careful to
avoid damaging the hinge pin on the bottom of the door. To reinstall the doors, follow
these instructions in reverse.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
The first step in setting up your wine cabinet is to make sure that it is level, with all the
leveling feet squarely on the floor and with the doors properly sealed against the cabinet.
The wine cabinet can be leveled by turning the leveling feet underneath the cabinet. You
can extend the feet of the cabinet by turning the feet CLOCKWISE (assuming you are
looking down from the top of the cabinet.)
 Begin with corner feet touching the floor and center feet (if any) raised.
 If the cabinet is resting on plush carpet, place a carpet board under the cabinet so
that all the leveling feet will remain on the same plane over time.
 Side to Side – Place a level on the top of the cabinet (not the door) parallel to the
door. Raise or lower either side of the cabinet by rotating the feet by hand. On larger
cabinets with six leveling feet, use the four corner feet only for leveling purposes.
After leveling, lower the center leveling feet to the floor.
 Front to Back – place a level on top of the cabinet (not the door) perpendicular to the
door, and follow the same procedure.
 If cabinet is level, the lock should work freely without force. Also, the door(s) should
be even (within 1/4 inch) with the top edge of the cabinet. Additionally, there should
be no gaps between the rubber gasket on the door, and the face of the cabinet.
