Installation Guide
Position the cabinet in its final location before securing to the wall.
- Level the Cabinet: Use a spirit level on the top. Adjust the feet (L) by turning clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower.
- Plan Wall Attachment: Locate wall studs using a stud finder. Mark drilling points on the cabinet's back panel (near the top).
- Secure to Wall: Use suitable wall anchors and screws (not included) that are appropriate for your wall type (drywall, plaster, etc.). Drive screws through the pre-drilled holes in the back panel and into the wall studs or anchors.
- Final Level Check: Re-check that the cabinet is level after securing.
CAUTION! Do not place heavy objects on open doors. Distribute weight evenly on shelves.
Adjustments & Leveling
Doors and shelves can be adjusted after installation.
- Door Alignment: Open door fully. Use the provided Allen key to adjust the vertical and horizontal screws on the hinge. Tighten or loosen to align doors evenly.
- Soft-Close Feature: The hinge has a built-in soft-close mechanism. If door closes too quickly or slowly, adjust the tension screw on the side of the hinge.
- Shelf Height: Shelves are adjustable. To change height, lift shelf up and out, then reposition shelf support pins in the desired holes and replace shelf.
- Leveling Feet: If cabinet rocks, adjust individual feet until stable.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will maintain the appearance and function of your cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if needed. Dry immediately.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. Avoid excessive water.
- Protection: Avoid placing hot items directly on surfaces. Use coasters under glasses and vases.
