Before Installation
Overview
·
Assembly and installation should be performed by skilled technical persons, and only after carefully
studying these instructions.
·
It is suggested that the cabinets are setup in a space that is large enough to safely handle the cartons,
pieces, finished cabinets, and dunnage.
·
Inspect the condition of the wall and floor where the cabinets will be located. If the wall is not straight,
establish a reference line so that the fronts of all cabinets will line up. Also, determine the highest point on
the floor, which will establish the leveled height of each row of cabinets.
·
Build only one cabinet at a time, to avoid intermixing parts. Build each according to these instructions for
the specific model.
Do not start installing doors until all cabinets are assembled and in their final location, leveled, and secured
to adjacent walls and cabinets.
·
After all cabinets are in place, distribute the door cartons and door hardware sets to each cabinet.
Assemble and hang the doors one at a time according to the instructions.
Then clean off any fingerprints, dirt, and dust, using a clean rag and mild spray cleaner or acetone.
Before You Begin
Keep the Packing List with the cabinet, for reference until the unit is completely assembled.
·
Read the complete assembly procedure before beginning the assembly.
·
The cabinet carton is marked with the cabinet number as shown in "Cabinet Identification".
·
Hardware packs may contain extra fasteners that are not required on all cabinets.
·
Because of the variety of possible wall surfaces, wall fasteners are not included.
Have your maintenance personnel recommend an appropriate type for safe, secure attachment and
have the fasteners available before assembling the cabinet.
·
At least two people (preferably four) are required to assemble the cabinet and set it upright.
