•The door gasket will be firmly in contact with the perimeter of the cabinet and not pinched on the hinge side of the door.
The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4 in. misalignment:

3.Turn the door upside down and inspect the hinge plate mounting holes.
•Your plate has slotted mounting holes (Figure 15, 1). Loosen but do not remove the two hinge plate screws.
4.If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up, move plate toward outside of door (Figure 15, 2). If door edge needs to move down, move plate toward inside of door (Figure 15, 3). Repeat until top edge of door is parallel with top of cabinet and tighten screws securely (Figure 15, 1).
