Generally speaking, never slide a rack that has several bottles piled on it,
or when it has vertically presented bottles on it.
You should remember that if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine
cabinet, it is better to distribute the load over all of the racks available, so as
to avoid "all on top" or "all below" type loads.
The racks all have a label slot, designed to receive the pre-cut cards delivered
with your cabinet, thus helping you to identify the position of your favourite
wines at a glance.
Never alter the position of your cabinet's rigidity bar (see page 3, N° 14),
NEVER move this part while the cabinet is loaded.
