UNPACKING AND MOVING
CAUTION
DO NOT CUT CARDBOARD SLEEVE
COVERING THE UNIT. CUTTING MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR OF
THE CABINET.
Uncrate the unit outside on a flat level surface.
Remove the cardboard sleeve by removing the
staples holding the sleeve to the wood-shipping
base. Carefully lift the cardboard sleeve up over
the top of the cabinet (this should be done with a
minimum of two people, larger cabinets may
require additional helpers). Carefully cut the
banding holding the cabinet to the woodshipping base. Remove all packing materials
from the interior of the cabinet and discard.
Remove door(s), drawers and all cantilever,
sliding or unfastened shelving from the cabinet.
To remove the door(s), remove the upper pivot
pin using a standard straight blade screwdriver
and turning the fastener counterclockwise
(always support the door when unfastening the
upper pivot pin). Once the upper pivot pin is
loose pull the pin up and tip the door slightly
away from the upper cabinet hinge. Gently lift
up on the door to remove the door from the
lower pivot pin. Set door aside in safe location
to prevent damage. Re-install the upper pivot
pin for safekeeping. Refer to PROCEDURE
FOR SWITCHING DIRECTION OF DOOR
SWING pages 13-15, STEP 1 for Removal and
Step 6 for Re-hanging.
To remove cantilever shelving, lift shelf upward
and pull forward. Set cantilever shelving aside
for safekeeping.
To remove sliding shelving or sliding drawers,
pull shelf or drawer forward until completely
extended. Press on both release points on
outside edge of shelf or drawer brackets and pull
shelf or drawer completely out. Continue until all
shelving has been removed from the cabinet.
Set all drawers and shelving aside for
safekeeping.
WARNING

AT A TIME TO PREVENT POSSIBLE TIPOVER.
CAUTION
SUPPORT SLIDING DRAWERS AND SLIDING
SHELVING HORIZONTALLY AND PULL
STRAIGHT OUT TO AVOID DAMAGE TO
SLIDES.
Carefully lift cabinet off wood base and onto a
hand truck(s) or dolly. Ensure cabinet is
balanced on transporting device. Multi-door
cabinets have an offset center of gravity towards
the left-most door when facing the front of the
cabinet due to the refrigeration system in and
under the first door. Secure the cabinet to the
transporting device(s) using soft flexible
strapping (to prevent damage to exterior cabinet
finish cover and protect cabinet with cloth
material where banding touches the cabinet).
WARNING
A MINIMUM OF TWO PEOPLE SHOULD LIFT
