Step 15

Fit doors and handles

Note: The easiest way to
attach each door and
. is to fit the top hinge
first, then align and fit the
other hinge.

a: Push the hinge

onto the front part of the
hinge plate .
The recess at the bottom
of screw B goes into the
slot in the hinge plate.

b: Keep the hinge

FLAT against the hinge
plate as you slide it
across as far as it will go.
Tighten screw A.

c: The hinge must be

flat against the hinge
plate prior to any
adjustment.

d: The hinge must

NOT be AT AN ANGLE
to the hinge plate
when assembled.
This would indicate that
the recess at the bottom
of screw B had not
located in the slot in the
hinge plate and the hinge
would not be secure.
Remove the hinge from
the hinge plate and then
re-assemble being
careful to follow
instructions a-c.

e: Attach a handle to

each door and
using screws .
