To Level the Refrigerator:
While unit is lying on its back, note the location
of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner.
These leg levelers will be used to level the
refrigerator and to adjust the height. Use a
carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from
front to back and side to side. Adjust the plastic
leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that
the door closes easily when left halfway open.
Leveling Instructions for Matching
Refrigerator / Freezer Pair:
Level door of rst unit using all four
levelers and slide unit into place. Recheck
for levelness and adjust if necessary.
Measure distance from oor to bottom of
door on rst unit. Adjust and level second
unit so door height matches.
Leg Level Adjustments:
One full turn of all four leg levelers will
raise door 5/32”.
Slide second unit into place leaving a
minimum gap of 3/16” between units for
door swing clearance.
This last step may require at least one
extraction of the second unit to properly
align units in a “built-in” application.
Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to ne tune
the door height and for nal cabinet spacing.
Use a 7/16” socket or wrench to adjust the
screw at the bottom of the lower hinge.
Adjusting Doors for Matching
Refrigerator / Freezer Pair
The doors may also be adjusted side to
side with the slotted hinge for aligning the
doors parallel to each other. Loosen the 3
screws with a ⅜” wrench. Shift the doors
until parallel, and then retighten the screws
securely. (See Figure 2.)
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all leg levelers
resting rmly on a solid oor.
The oor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrigerator
to be level in order to function properly. If the
refrigerator is not leveled during installation,
the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or
moisture problems.
Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling
the Doors of the Matching Refrigerator /
Freezer Pair
To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):
1. If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/16” socket wrench.
(See Figure 2.)
2. If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/16” socket wrench.
(See Figure 2.)
