7. Sealing Gaps 

Once the enclosure is completely put together, it is time to make sure that each panel 
is held tightly to each adjoining panel.  The connectors are designed with a small 
amount of play that allows you to make minor adjustments for the perfect fit. 

1. Loosen screws on the panel to move.

2. Push that panel into place.  You may need a friend to hold it tightly in the right spot.

3. Re-tighten the screws to hold the panel.  Only tighten enough to hold the pieces 

snuggly.  

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN! 

 These parts are sturdy, but they’re still all made of 

plastic.

Repeat the product, going around the enclosure, looking to make sure all of the panels 
are flush with each other.

8. Temperature Gauge 

The optional thermometer will let you know 
approximately what temperature it is inside 
the enclosure.  It attaches to the left side of 
the door piece using the same hole as the 
top-most corner connector, as shown.  It 
comes with a longer screw to fit through 
everything.
