accessory stand, screw these into the holes the shipping bolts came
out of by tipping the cabinet slightly. Always have at least two (2)
additional persons help with tipping of the cabinet, and always follow
safe-lifting practices. Note –cabinet is heavier on the right side. If the
cabinet is to be installed on the accessory stand, see the instruction

After removing the cabinet from the pallet, carefully remove any
remaining packaging materials, including wrapping and shipping
spacers. Leave the shipping tape on all doors and drawers in place
until cabinet is in its final location.
