ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

8. Lift and pull the L-shaped pivot pin

on the edge of the left door (H),
aligning the assembling hole of the
base (E) and top (D), then release.
Repeat for right door (I).

7. Install the bottom shelf (F) by tipping it
to the side and inserting it into the
cabinet. With bottom shelf (F) at an
angle, align the cut-outs on the bottom
shelf (F) with the back seams caused
by left side (B), right side (C), and
bottom back panel (M). Carefully lower
the bottom shelf (F), ensuring the front
of the bottom shelf (F) goes over the
front flange of the base (E).

Determine the location for the other 3
shelves (G). Hold the shelves (G) at an
angle to make them easier to install.
Repeat above method to install.
Please make sure shelf (G) snaps into
the hooks on the assembled back.

Note: If inside front shelf tabs are
flattened during assembly, use a flat
screwdriver (not included) to adjust tabs.

Note: Check and see if the top (D) is level. If not
level due to uneven floor, the two doors will
probably not be properly aligned. In this case,
use an adjustable wrench (not included) to
adjust the hex nut until the top (D) is level.
