To Level the Refrigerator:
While unit is lying on its back, note the location
of the four (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.
Kick Plate Removal
To remove the kick plate, use a Phillips head
screwdriver and remove the two screws
holding the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull
the kick plate away from the unit.
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners
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.
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.
