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).

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 on Page 3.
