(3)
Adjust the pad feet clockwise or counterclockwise as required until the
cabinet is level.
This is extemely important:
•
All cabinet tops must be in one level plane, with no horizontal or
vertical deviation. (See Fig. 4-2.) This can best be achieved if the
floor is level. Use the carpenter's level to ensure the levelness of the
cabinets, checking both the rear and the front of the cabinets.
•
Misaligned or twisted cabinets can make it difficult to insert SRUs
and to interconnect cabinets. Also, misalignment may result in
operating faults.
•
An assistant may tip the cabinet lineup slightly to allow you to easily
turn the feet. Otherwise, turn the feet by slipping a finger between
the cabinet bottom and the floor.
(4)
Rock the cabinet to ensure solid footing and check it with the
carpenter's level to ensure it is level.
(5)
Insert and engage the plastic interlocking hardware into the slotted
grooves in the right-hand base of the cabinet (facing from the front).
The interlocking hardware will extend in the front by approximately 65
mm (2.5 inches) as shown in Fig. 4-3.
(6)
Position the second cabinet to the right of the first (as viewed from the
front). A second person may be of assistance for the following steps.
(7)
Maneuver the second cabinet onto the interlocking hardware by slipping
the cabinet's slotted grooves at the left-hand base of the cabinet onto the
interlocks.
(8)
Engage the cabinet on the interlocks by pushing it forward onto the
locks. The cabinet is engaged when the clip on the back of the
interlocking hardware snaps into position.
(9)
Turn the cabinet feet the same number of turns as you did for the first
cabinet.
(10) Level the second cabinet as you did the first, ensuring that both cabinet
tops are on a level plane, with no vertical or horizontal deviation. An
assistant may tip the cabinet lineup slightly to allow you to easily turn
the feet. Otherwise, turn the feet by slipping a finger between the
cabinet bottom and the floor.
