The Vinothè¸que wine cabinets are equipped with leveling guides (legs) which can be adjusted up or down with a wrench (provided with unit) as needed. There are two primary reasons for leveling the units. The first is to assure that the unit stands solidly on the floor without rocking back and forth. The second is to adjust the doors, to assure that they are flush and provide a tight seal. The leveling units are pre-adjusted at the factory. However, your specific location needs may be different and thus adjustments may be required.

To level the unit, slowly adjust the legs using the wrench provided. Work in a clockwise motion, making minor adjustments. It may require you to make several complete rotations around the unit in order to complete the needed adjustments. Do not attempt to level cellar with a leveling device. The unit is designed to stand slightly off plumb, tilting backwards so the doors will close firmly. This will compensate for the weight of the doors (see illustrations).

Once you have completed the leveling process, check the unit to determine whether the doors are flush and sealing properly.
