These steps are to be followed after you have unpackaged and completed the simple assembly instructions for your
Mirage AV stand. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors and drawers on your Mirage stand
may not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation. Be aware
that depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required. The high-quality European hinge
hardware is infinitely adjustable, but changing one element can cause the need for further adjustments. Through a
little adjustment, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they are sitting perfectly on
your Mirage unit.

STEP 1 - Level your Mirage unit

Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed from inside the cabinet. If your floor is uneven, you
may extend one or more levelers (with the provided Allen Wrench) to attain a level, stable cabinet placement. Turning
the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.

INCORRECT! Door
is out of alignment
with the rest of the
unit.

CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on
tops and sides.

STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)

The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely without rubbing against
the door frame.

If the cabinet’s doors appear out of
alignment, this condition can be corrected
with minor adjustment to the European
hinges on each door.

Because these hinges are infinitely

adjustable, adjusting one hinge element can
sometimes cause the need for adjustments
to other elements. But with a few
adjustments, you can modify the orientation
of the cabinet doors to make sure that they

hang perfectly within your cabinet.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust Mirage’s door hinges:
 •ByadjustingScrew 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT within the frame. Make minor adjustments at both
top and bottom hinges for best results.
 •ByadjustingScrew(s) 2, the door will move UP or DOWN within the frame (the top and bottom hinges
must be adjusted the same degree).
NOTE: If your hinges have a Slotted Mounting Plate (as shown in Figure 2): Loosen Screws 2 one
complete turn, raise or lower door, then hold in position while tightening Screws 2 (on both hinges).
 •ByadjustingScrew 3 the entire door will move IN or OUT, opening or closing the gap between the door
frame and cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)
