- Page 2 A) UNPACKING CABINET ‐ PRE‐INSTALLATION INSPECTION Caution: Immediately discard polyethylene cabinet bag upon unpacking & removal! Bag is a suffocation hazard and must be kept away from small children and/or pets. 1. Once outer box cover has been removed, remove polystyrene corner protectors from inside top of box. Pull up polyethylene bag away from cabinet and recycle all packaging materials whenever possible. 2. Using two or more people, carefully lift cabinet out of corrugate tray and onto floor. It is recommended to lay the packaging material supplied with the cabinet onto the floor in order to protect the underside of the cabinet during installation. 3. Inspect outer cabinet surfaces for any visible damages. Inspect the hardware bag supplied with this cabinet and verify that all hardware is accounted for. Should there be missing hardware or visible damages to the cabinet, immediately contact your dealer or the factory prior to installation. 4. Do not remove the protective door film at this time. This film will act as a protection against light scratches or scuffs that may inadvertently happen during the installation process. Only once installation is complete can this film be removed. 5. Peel away blue tape from recessed finger‐pull and remove key. B) MOUNTING CABINET TO WOOD STUDDED WALL Caution: Tipping Hazard! Prior to installing and due to the heavy weight of the overhead door, exercise extreme caution when opening. Failure to observe this procedure may result in injury and/or damage to cabinet! 1. This procedure is intended for wall‐mounting a cabinet to a wood‐studded wall. If metal studs are present, do not wall‐ mount cabinet until adequate stud and wall reinforcement is achieved by a skilled and qualified carpenter. Mounting wall must be straight and plumb. If necessary, use wooden shims to adjust the position of the cabinet to the wall. 2. Using a stud finder and lead pencil, mark exact center position of vertical wall studs where cabinet is to be installed. 3.

It is imperative that all cabinets be joined together as this will combine structural integrity of the cabinets as a set and will eliminate potential sagging and misalignment. 2. For ease of twinning, it is recommended to start the installation with the center cabinet and work in an outwards direction on opposite sides. 3. Position 2 cabinet beside first cabinet and repeat levelling/wall mounting procedure. Verify that both cabinets are level and fasten them together using Phillips truss screws and acorn nuts thru the twinning holes. Tighten firmly. 4. Repeat the same procedure for each additional cabinet. 5. Once twinning is complete, cap the unused twinning holes on each of the end cabinets with the plastic hole plugs.
