the use of a small piece
of waste wood, placed
behind the hole while
drilling, to reduce the
possibility of any
breakout.
Using the pilot hole in
the rear face of the door,
drill through the hole
indicated opposite, using
a 2.5mm diameter drill.
Turn the door over and
open out the 2.5mm hole

Step 25
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 hinges.
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 .

Step 27
Attach bracket to top
To prevent possible
overbalancing, we
recommend that this unit
is secured to a suitable
wall by use of the
bracket fitted to the
top of the unit.
Fixings are not supplied,
as they will need to suit
the wall type and the
length of screw will
depend on the distance
from the back of the unit
to the wall.
Fix the bracket
loosely onto the top of
the unit using screw
and mark the wall for the
wall fixing.
Swivel the bracket
away from the wall and
drill a hole in the wall
using a suitable drill bit
and fit your wall fixing.
Swivel the bracket
back and fix the bracket
to the wall, then tighten
screw .
Note: Take care when
drilling the wall that you
do not drill into any
pipes, wires etc.
If in doubt, consult an
expert.
Assembly is complete
Warning: The
