- Mount the Cabinet Body to the Base: Carefully lift the assembled cabinet body and place it onto the base frame. Secure the cabinet body to the base using bolts (Part C).
- Install Back Panel: Position the back panel (Part 5) onto the rear of the cabinet. Secure it using round head screws (Part K). Ensure the safety wall strap (Part M) is attached to the back panel for later wall mounting.
- Attach Door Fittings: Install the door fittings (Part F) onto the left door (Part 9) and right door (Part 10) using round head screws (Part G).

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable. | Uneven floor; loose connections; incorrect assembly of crossbar. | Adjust the foot pads on the legs to level the cabinet. Check all bolts and screws and tighten them securely. Ensure the "X" crossbar is correctly installed. |
| Doors do not close properly or are misaligned. | Hinges are not adjusted correctly; magnet not aligned. | Refer to the "Adjusting Door Hinges" section (Section 5) and use a screwdriver to adjust the hinges. Check the alignment of the door magnet. |
