SAFETY TIPS

• Ensure that the cabinet is positioned square and firm on the floor so that it will not fall over. Some cabinets are equipped with adjustable floor levelers. Adjust the levelers for maximum stability and proper alignment. (The levelers may have unscrewed unevenly during shipment.)
• Some cabinets include a Safety Strap. Follow the instructions included with the Safety Strap to ensure maximum stability. (See step #5)
• Keep plastic bags and small parts away from children.
• Cabinets may be lit using a halogen lamp. Halogen lamps operate at high temperatures.
• Combustible materials or those adversely affected by drying or fading from the heat should not be placed close to the lamp.

CARE OF GLASS SHELVES

• To prevent breakage of glass shelves and collectibles, good judgment must be used during the installation and loading of glass shelves. Heavy loads on the shelves must be distributed and must not exceed 25 pounds.
• Glass shelves must be properly installed onto the shelf supports provided and should not be overloaded. (Figure 8 & 9)
• Care should be taken when placing items onto each glass shelf. Sudden shock from any size item can result in broken glass, personal injury, or damage to valuable items.
• The end use of this cabinet is beyond our control and therefore, the Howard Miller Company cannot assume responsibility for broken glass or personal effects.

CABINET SET UP

• Inspect the inside of the cabinet, carton, and packaging to make sure you have removed all separately packed parts, including shelves, shelf supports, door lock key, No-Reach™ or Touch-Lite™ assembly.
• Locate the package of glass shelves. The shelves may be located:
• Inside your cabinet and secured with shipping clips. To remove the shipping clips, you will need a Phillips screwdriver. (Figure 1)
• On top, underneath, or alongside of your cabinet. You may need to lay the cabinet on it’s backside to remove the shelves from underneath the cabinet. Use caution when removing these shelves.
• If available on your cabinet, adjust the floor levelers, located on the bottom of the cabinet, all the way in (up). (Figure 2)
• Identify one of the following light switch options provided with your cabinet and install as directed.

No-Reach™ Light Switch: Installation
Locate the light On/Off switch. Insert the switch inside the plastic bracket by pressing the electrical cord wires into each slot. Peel away the adhesive paper from the backside of the bracket and press firmly to the backside of the cabinet in the desired location. (Figure 3)

Touch-Lite™ Pad Installation

• Remove the Dimmer Block, Power Cord, and Sensor Wire from the plastic bag, usually located on top of the cabinet. (Figure 4)
• The TouchPad Key Holder Assembly is located in a plastic bag with the Power Cord, Dimmer Block, and Sensor Wire.
• Attach the TouchPad Key Holder Assembly to the end of the Sensor Wire. (Figure 5) Use care to avoid bending as damage may occur if this is forced on.
• Peel away the adhesive paper from the backside of the Dimmer Block. Press the Dimmer Block firmly to the top of the dust panel or to the backside of the cabinet to allow convenient access to both the power source and the TouchPad Key Holder. (Figure 6)
• Peel away the adhesive paper from the backside of the TouchPad Key Holder Assembly. Verify that the Key Holder is to the bottom and the attachment to the Sensor Wire is at the top. Press the Touch Pad firmly to the backside of the cabinet at the desired location. (Figure 7)

Move the cabinet to its final location and position it against a wall. Ensure that the cabinet is positioned square and firm on the floor so that it will not fall over.

Safety Strap

• Some cabinets include a safety strap. If so, review the instructions included with the Safety Strap at this time and choose the assembly option that best fits your application.
• These cabinets should be attached to the wall for maximum stability. If your cabinet does not have this feature, proceed to the next step.

Install the Glass Shelves

• Securely place the shelf supports into the desired holes inside the cabinet. (Figure 8 & 9) Several holes can be used for shelf height adjustment.
• Install shelves. Starting at the bottom and working upward, place each shelf onto the shelf supports. (Figure 8 & 9)
• Note: Some cabinets may have a wood rail which is intended to support a glass shelf. This wood rail will have a no-slide-pad for the glass shelf to set upon. (Two shelf clips may also be necessary.) This glass shelf is at a set height and is not adjustable. This glass shelf could be a different size than the other shelves and is labeled accordingly. Install this shelf per instructions.
• Note: Do not put any items onto shelves until finished with this instruction guide.
• Close and secure the door(s) using the lock or latch as provided with your cabinet.
• Level the cabinet. Place a level alongside the cabinet from front to back and side to side (Figure 10). On some models, there are adjustable levelers under the cabinet, that can be turned in (up) or out (down) to make adjustments. (Figure 2) Adjust the levelers until the cabinet is level in both directions and is square and firm on the floor. This is the only time a level will be used.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CABINETRY

• Protect surfaces from scratches, dents, condensation or spills.
• Wax and polish your cabinet as frequently as you do your other furniture. Use a non-silicone liquid or paste wax.
• Avoid exposing the cabinet to direct sunlight and protect it from extreme temperatures and humidity changes. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may fade the finish while extreme temperature and humidity changes may cause the wood to split or crack.
• Check periodically that your cabinet is level and rests firmly on the levelers. This is especially important the first few months if the cabinet settles into carpet (Figures 1 & 2).
