Leveling

Rest all bottom corners firmly on a solid floor.

The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded appliance.

It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level in order to function properly. If the appliance is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

To Level the Appliance:

While unit is laying on its back, note the location of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner. These leg levelers will be used to level the unit and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter’s level to level the appliance from front to back and side to side. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front,

½bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

Leveling Instructions for Matching Tall Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:

Level door of first unit using all four levelers and slide unit into place. Recheck for levelness and adjust if necessary.

Measure distance from floor to bottom of door on first 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.
