Hinge misalignment? There is usually some adjustment because the screws go through holes with clearance. But if it is new I would be very careful not to leave evidence of "fiddling", is it from a local or a "reputable" supplier?
Is it suction related? if you slide a butter knife in between the seal and the cabinet, and twist the knife a little while opening the door, does this allow the door to be opened easily?
Is this all of the time or just difficulty in opening it a short time after closing the door?
Try talcum powder on the seals.
When opening, put a finger on the door seal and pull there too. It breaks the suction.
