IMPORTANT
Pivot posts must be cleaned. Closers must also be clean
and greased to ensure proper operation.
5. Place the modified door onto the pivot post.
6. Position door and install the pivot post into the top
hinge (using the Phillips screwdriver).
7. Adjust door as needed for proper closure.
8. Check to see that light goes off when the door closes.
9. Reinstall the door shelves by lining up the bosses and
first pushing straight in, then down at a 45° angle.
Checking Door Alignment
The unit’s door is aligned at the factory before shipment.
However, its alignment could have been disturbed during
shipment or during door panel installation.
IMPORTANT
Properly aligned, the door should be 1/8" below the top of
the unit’s cabinet, NOT flush with the top (see
Figure 13
).
1. Compare the top edge of the door to the top edge of
the cabinet.
2. If the door edge is 1/8" below and parallel to the top of
the cabinet, the door is aligned. If it is not, note
whether the side opposite the hinge needs to be moved
UP or DOWN, and use the following procedure.
Note:
If door is adjusted correctly, but panel is not square
with the adjacent cabinets, slight adjustments can be
made by drilling the holes in the vinyl coated steel panel
slightly oversized. See
Figure 6

.
Adjusting Door Alignment
1. Remove top hinge screw
pin (Phillips screwdriver,
see
Figure 14
). Remove
door by tilting forward
and lifting off bottom
hinge pin.
2. With door upside-down,
loosen but do not remove
the two screws on the
door’s bottom hinge plate.
3. See
Figure 15
. If the top far edge of the door needs to
move UP, move the hinge plate toward the outside of
the door and retighten screws. If the top far edge of the
door needs to move DOWN, move the hinge plate
toward the inside of the door and retighten screws.
4. Mount the door to recheck alignment and repeat Steps
2 and 3 if further adjustment is necessary.
5. When top edge of door is parallel to top edge of
cabinet, remove the door and ensure the two screws
are secure.
6. Remove the door closers from the bottom hinge, clean
thoroughly and lubricate the mating surfaces with
petroleum jelly.
