IMPORTANT

When properly aligned:

• The door will not be flush with the top of the 

cabinet. The top edge of the door will be 1/8 in. 
(3.175 mm) below the cabinet top.

• The door gasket will be firmly in contact with the 

perimeter of the cabinet and not pinched on the 
hinge side of the door.

The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4 in. 
misalignment:

. Loosen but do not remove the two hinge 

plate screws.

4. If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up, 

move plate toward outside of door 

(Figure 14, 2)

. If 

door edge needs to move down, move plate toward 
inside of door 

(Figure 14, 3)

. Repeat until top edge of 

door is parallel with top of cabinet and tighten screws

from the bottom hinge, clean thoroughly and apply 
petroleum jelly to the mating surfaces of the closers. Be
