If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with unpacking and installation. Contact your VulcanHart Customer Service Department immediately. UNPACKING: The Cabinet was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage to the cabinet.

This cabinet requires two people to lift and should be placed inside the stacking kit that was shipped with the bottom cabinet. Stacking kits fit only one way between the cabinets. If for any reason either

one or both cabinets do not fit within the stacking kit provided, please contact the service department at 414-434-4716.
