■

  Place the packing material in the location diagonally opposite the front roller that lifts off the floor.

moving when the cabinet is pushed into position.

■

  For uneven surfaces, front feet can be used to align the 2 doors.

■

  If left hand door is too low, then unscrew the left hand foot to lift up cabinet until top edges of the 

two doors are aligned.

■

  If right hand door is lower, then process the same way with right hand foot.

Incorrect installation may result in the product twisting which will give the appearance of doors and 

handles being out of alignment.
