PRUDENCE

Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure

à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever

le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
