BASIC CABINET BODY ASSEMBLY
LEVELING THE BASE
Now that you have picked your location, attach the leveling feet (C) to the
underside of the cabinet base (B). Move the nut down to the bottom of the
leveling feet. We recommend you start with the leveling foot at it’s lowest
position and then you can easily adjust the leveling foot when the base is in
place.
Place the base in the desired location, and make sure it is level using a 4′ to 6′ level. On the front-to-back leveling, have the cabinet slightly lower in the back to allow for moisture to drain off the back.
NOTE: The hole location for electrical cords is in the back of the base
of the cabinet. Adjust the leveling feet if needed.
Place the large plastic cap (F) in the hole in the back of the cabinet base.
CABINET BODY TO BASE ASSEMBLY
(ASSEMBLY IS THE SAME FOR ALL CABINETS)
2 DOOR CABINET IMAGE IS SHOWN AS EXAMPLE ONLY
- With two people, lift the cabinet body (A) upright with the sticker inside pointing up. One person should hold onto the front edge of the cabinet (do not lift by the doors) while the other pulls out the back of the cabinet so that it is no longer folded.
- With two people, lift the cabinet by the back and front edges of the cabinet frame, place the cabinet on top of the base that has been leveled. Make sure the hole for the electrical cords is in the back of the cabinet. Make sure the cabinet body is properly seated on the base.
- The cabinet body has a snug fit to the base, you may need to use a flat head screw driver to guide one side into place or use a rubber mallet to tap it into place so it sits flat on the base.
- Attach the cabinet body to the base by using 6 of the bolts (R) – 3 in the front and 3 in the back of the cabinet. Finger tighten until all bolts have been threaded in the nuts that have already been welded into the bottom of the cabinet. When the bolts are all in place – tighten them with provided hex key or drill bit with extender (do not over tighten).
- With two people, turn the cabinet upside down. There are 2 locations on each side of the bottom of the cabinet that need to be secured to the base. Finger tighten all 4 bolts (R). When the 4 bolts are in place-tighten them (do not over tighten). With two people, turn the cabinet upright. Check to make sure the cabinet is still level.
- Assembly of the Base Cabinet is complete. Continue with the instructions related to the cabinet you are assembling.
CABINETS WITH SHELVES
(IF YOUR UNIT DOES NOT HAVE A SHELF CONTINUE TO NEXT STEP)
- It is easier to set your shelf location with the top off.
- Place the self brackets (D) to the desired location by slipping them in the slots in the corners of the cabinet body. The open hook should be facing up towards the top of the cabinet.
- Slide the shelf (E or ES) in place to make sure it is in the desired location. If you are installing the ES shelf for the sink cabinet, the open slot should be positioned in the back of the cabinet to accommodate pluming hoses and drains. Then remove the shelf. It will make it easier to install the top. Reinstall the shelf after the top is installed.
ATTACH THE TOP USING TOP MANUAL (TOP SOLD SEPARATELY)
CABINETS WITH DRAWERS ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
(IF YOUR UNIT DOES NOT HAVE DRAWERS CONTINUE TO DETAIL AND FINISHING)
Place your folded drawer (I or K) on a flat clean area for assembly. If you
use the top of your cabinet to assemble the drawer(s), please place a
protective material on top of the cabinet (like cardboard) to prevent
scratching the top of the cabinet.
Unfold the drawer sides so that it lays flat, remove the drawer dividers and
set aside. The food grade liner can stay at the bottom of the drawer.
Start by folding up the back panel and 1 side panel, attach the 2 panels by
using 2 bolts (S). Finger tighten until both bolts have been threaded in the
nuts that have already been welded into place.
Repeat on all panels until all 8 bolts (S) have been finger tightened into
place-tighten them with provided hex key (do not over tighten).
When assembling the drawer front we recommend arranging the drawer frame
assembly so that the front is slightly over the edge of your counter top or
work surface. This will allow the drawer handle to hang over the edge of the
top of the cabinet during assembly and allow the draw front to sit flat.
Have 1 person hold the corresponding drawer front to the drawer (Medium drawer
front L to Medium folding drawer K or Large Drawer Front J to Large Folding
Drawer I) in place while attaching to the drawer frame by using 4 bolts (S), 2
on each side of the drawer front. Finger tighten until all bolts are in place.
When bolts are all in place-tighten them with provided hex key (do not over
tighten).
If assembling the 3 Drawer unit assemble the remaining drawers using above
drawer assembly instructions.
DRAWER SLIDE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION! DRAWER SLIDES ARE GREASED AND CAN LEAVE RESIDUE.
Before attaching slides to the cabinet make sure the inside arm is pushed and locked all the way back exposing the front through holes as shown. Repeat for all slides before next step.
Assemble the top drawer slides by attaching 2 of the drawer slides (N) on to
the top slide location of the inside of the cabinet on each side of the
cabinet using 12 bolts (T)- 1 drawer slide and 6 bolts on each side. Finger
tighten until all bolts are in place. When bolts are all in place-tighten them
with provided hex key (do not over tighten).
If assembling a 3 Drawer unit continue attaching remaining slides to the
cabinet. Note the assembly location of remaining slides.
Assemble the middle drawer slides by attaching 2 of the drawer slides (N) on to the 2nd highest slide location of the inside of the cabinet on each side of the cabinet using 12 bolts (T) – 1 drawer slide and 6 bolts on each side. Finger tighten until all bolts are in place. When bolts are all in place- tighten them with provided hex key (do not over tighten).
Assemble the bottom drawer slides by attaching the remaining 2 drawer slides (N) to the lowest slide location of the inside of the cabinet on each side of the cabinet using 12 bolts (T) – 1 drawer slide and 6 bolts on each side. Finger tighten until all bolts are in place. When bolts are all in place- tighten them with provided hex key (do not over tighten).
With your drawer slides attached to the cabinet extend the inside arm of your drawer slides on both sides.
Separate the inside arm of your drawer slide by pressing up on the plastic lever on the slide on the right and down on the lever on the slide on the left. Keep the inner slides together as you separate them.
Repeat drawer slide separation for remaining drawer slide.
MEDIUM TOP DRAWER
Assemble slides to the medium top drawer by attaching 2 of the inside arms of
the drawer slide that you removed to either side of the outside of the drawer.
Attach with 8 bolts (T) – 4 on each side, as shown. Finger tighten until all
bolts are in place. When bolts are all in place-tighten them (do not over
tighten). Make sure the solid edge of the drawer slide is at the front of the
drawer and the end with the cutout is at the back of the drawer.
LARGE MIDDLE DRAWER
Assemble slides to the Large Middle drawer by attaching 2 of the inside arms
of the drawer slide that you removed to the top rail of either side of the
outside of the drawer. Attach with 8 bolts (T) – 4 on each side, as shown.
Finger tighten until all bolts are in place. When bolts are all in place-
tighten them (do not over tighten). Make sure the solid edge of the drawer
slide is at the front of the drawer and the end with the cutout is at the back
of the drawer.
LARGE BOTTOM DRAWER
Assemble slides to the Large Bottom drawer by attaching 2 of the inside arms
of the drawer slide that you removed to the bottom rail of either side of the
outside of the drawer. Attach with 8 bolts (T) – 4 on each side, as shown.
Finger tighten until all bolts are in place. When bolts are all in place-
tighten them (do not over tighten). Make sure the solid edge of the drawer
slide is at the front of the drawer and the end with the cutout is at the back
of the drawer.
DRAWER INSTALLATION
MEDIUM TOP DRAWER
This step is easier with two people.
Note that the medium drawer goes on top.
To install the drawer into the cabinet, extend the ball bearing slides that
were install inside the cabinet, so they stick out beyond the front edge of
the cabinet.
With one person on each side of the drawer. Lift the drawer into position so
the inner slide (attached to the drawer) lines up with the ball bearing slide
inside the cabinet. Make sure they are seated properly. Then slide the drawer
into place. You should hear a small click when the slides are engaged. Close
the drawer fully (the first time will require a firm closing of the drawer)
and then pull the drawer open to make sure they are properly engaged. The
drawer should not pull completely out.
If assembling a 3 drawer unit repeat above drawer instillation for remaining 2
large drawers. Note that the large drawer with the slides on the top rail goes
in the middle drawer location. The remaining large drawer with the slides on
the bottom rail goes in the bottom drawer location.
To install large drawer divider (ML) or medium drawer divider (MM) the notches
on the dividers must line up with the tracks on the inside of the front and
back panels. Once the dividers are lined up slide them side to side until in
the desired location. Once in location press down to secure into slot.
Repeat for remaining dividers.
Empty drawer before removing it from the cabinet. It is easier to remove the
drawer with two people. To remove the drawer, pull the drawer open enough to
fully extend the slides. Push up on the black release lever on one side of the
inner slide, while pushing down on the black release lever on the other side
of the drawer. While holding the levers in these positions, pull the drawer
outward, towards you, until it is released from the drawer slide.
REFER TO DRAWER INSTALLATION TO RE-INSTALL DRAWERS.
DETAIL AND FINISHING
With the cabinet assembled and in place, check to make sure it is still level.
Adjust the leveling feet if need. This is a two person job, one to tip the
cabinet back slightly and the other to adjust the leveling feet.
The cabinets can also be bolted together through 4 locations on each of the
side panels using 4 bolts (P) and 4 nuts (Q). If the cabinet are not bolted
together or if it is a stand alone cabinet there are caps (H) include to fill
the holes and reduce the chance of moisture getting into the cabinet.
FOR CABINETS WITH DOORS:
If the cabinet doors do not line up, please see instruction below.
The hinges can easily be adjust up or down by loosening the hinge screws
attached to the front edge of the frame using provided hex key. Slide the door
up or down until the doors are aligned and then tighten the screws.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- To keep your cabinets looking clean and fresh, wash with fresh water, a mild detergent and a micro fiber cloth. Then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth, go with the grain on any brushed stainless-steel surfaces. If preferred, you can use products specifically designed to clean stainless steel for the cabinet tops.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or sponges / pads that are abrasive, these products will dull the finish and harm the longevity of the product.
- Also, stainless-steel may show “tea” staining if not washed often in costal locations or in close proximity to a chlorine or saltwater swimming pool.
- Check cabinets / drawers after hard rain. If water has penetrated the cabinet – wipe up moisture with a micro fiber cloth. Make sure all side button plugs and electrical cord grommets are in place. If water entered a drawer, make sure they are securely closed and that the cabinets are leveled per set up instructions.
- If your stainless-steel tops show signs of oxidization, take the following steps to rejuvenate its appearance. First, try cleaning with fresh water and a non-abrasive cleaning sponge – make sure you are stainless-steel top in the direction of the grain. If you run into a stubborn stain, use a stainless-steel cleanser (follow the cleanser’s direction – follow the cleaner’s warnings with regards to using on a food preparation surface.)
- NOTE: Always rub / wipe / clean the stainless-steel tops with the grain. Wiping across the grain can ruin the finish and cause the stainless-steel to lose its brilliance.
- For the glass fronts and aluminum front panels, wash with clean water and mild detergent with a micro fiber cloth. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pad on any surface of the cabinet. Clean as needed or every three months. If the cabinets are in close proximity to a chlorine or saltwater swimming pool or near a ocean, more frequently cleaning is required – every 2 to 3 weeks.
- Water with high iron content can leave rusty residue on the cabinets.
- Extreme heat by a flame – be careful placing your cabinet in direct contact with a BBQ grill or other appliance that generated high heat or flames.
- Salt that is left sitting on the products or gets splashed up on the cabinets in snowy weather can cause corrosion.
- Keeping your new outdoor kitchen cabinets clean will go a long way to extending their appearance and longevity.
- Trapped moisture under cutting boards, rubber mats, metal trays or cans could lead to corrosion.
- If the color of the cabinet bodies shows signs of fading, a thin layer of car wax can be applied per the wax manufacturers directions.
AVOID USING THESE CHEMICALS ON / AROUND THESE CABINETS:
- Products that include strong acids or alkaline can damage your cabinets: Vinegars, white wine, mustard, tomato-based products, lemons, some carbonated beverages etc.
Chloride cleansers which includes bleach or any other cleaning materials that contain bleach.
Muriatic acid (often used to clean tile / concrete)
