OPENING THE DOORS 

When cabinets are shipped in hot or cold weather, the rubber gaskets can become tacky 
and stick to the cabinet.  NEVER USE FORCE TO OPEN THE DOORS, because it will rip 
the gaskets off the doors.  Instead, starting at one corner, use your fingers or a ruler to ply 
away the gasket from the cabinet.   

MOVING THE CABINET 

It is OK to tip the wine cabinet forward, backwards or on its side in order to get it through a 
doorway.  However, you should NEVER PUSH, PULL OR LIFT the cabinet by its doors.   
 
If you need to remove the door(s) to get the cabinet through a doorway, simply remove the 
top hinge at the top corner(s) of the cabinet (three screws) and lift the door straight up until 
it slides out of the bottom hinge. When setting the door down on the floor, be careful to 
avoid damaging the hinge pin on the bottom of the door.  IMPORTANT NOTE:  Look for 
and save any shim washers on the lower hinge brass bushing (used to equalize door 
heights).   To reinstall the doors, follow these instructions in reverse. 

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS 

The first step in setting up your wine cabinet is to make sure that it is level, with all the 
leveling feet squarely on the floor and with the doors properly sealed against the cabinet.  
The wine cabinet can be leveled by turning the leveling feet underneath the cabinet.  You 
can extend the feet of the cabinet by turning the feet CLOCKWISE (assuming you are 
looking down from the top of the cabinet.) 
 



Begin with corner feet touching the floor and center feet (if any) raised.  



If the cabinet is resting on plush carpet, place a carpet board under the cabinet so 
that all the leveling feet will remain on the same plane over time.  



Side to Side – Place a level on the top of the cabinet (not the door) parallel to the 
door. Raise or lower either side of the cabinet by rotating the feet by hand. On larger 
cabinets with six leveling feet, use the four corner feet only for leveling purposes. 
After leveling, lower the center leveling feet to the floor. 



Front to Back – place a level on top of the cabinet (not the door) perpendicular to the 
door, and follow the same procedure.
