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 4).

UP or DOWN, and use the following procedure.
