Removing and Installing Back Access Panels / Bottom Panels
Base cabinets are equipped with removable back and bottom panels for access to wall receptacles and plumbing.
These panels are easily removed. (Note: Units with only drawers have an open bottom without bottom panels.)
Steps:
A.
Empty the cabinet and remove the shelves.
B.
Remove the cabinet bottom by lifting up at the back edge of the bottom, then tilt the bottom and remove it.
C.
Locate the two bent tabs in the upper flange of the cabinet back. These tabs are bent at the factory to
prevent the cabinet backs from coming out of place during shipment. To remove the back panel, bend
these two tabs to a straight position, which will allow the cabinet back to slide upward.
D.
Slide the back panel upward, then tilt the bottom of the panel forward and remove it from the cabinet.

Leveling
All base cabinets are equipped with leveling glides (“levelers”). While positioning and aligning the cabinets,
these levelers may be adjusted to accommodate uneven or sloping floors. A 0.125” (1/4") wrench or socket is
required.
There are four levelers in each base cabinet, one in each bottom corner.
Steps:
A.
Remove all contents of the cabinet, including shelves.
B.
Remove the cabinet bottom panel. Lift up at the back edge, then tilt and remove
(see above).
C.
Use a ¼” wrench or socket to adjust the levelers.
D.
Replace the cabinet bottom and shelves.
