1.Use a ¹⁄₂ in. (12.70 mm) socket wrench to adjust the leveling bolts. Turn the leveling bolt to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling bolt to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling bolts to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Be careful not to unscrew the leveling bolts too much when lowering the refrigerator. The bolt head will start to come away from the refrigerator when in the lowest position. If the screw does come out of the rear roller bracket, the compartment access cover on the back of the refrigerator will have to be removed to reinstall the bolt.

2.Adjust the front leveling bolt to bring the refrigerator top parallel with the cabinet above the refrigerator. For standard cabinets, leave approximately ¹⁄₈ in. (3.18 mm) gap between the top hinges and the cabinet. For full-overlay cabinets, leave ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) gap for leveling. If you do not have a cabinet above the refrigerator, simply adjust the refrigerator to make it level.

1.For standard cabinets, leave ¹⁄₈ in. (3.18 mm) minimum clearance for leveling the refrigerator. For full-overlay cabinets, leave ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) minimum clearance for leveling and door clearance.

2.Front of the refrigerator.

3.Adjust the rear leveling bolt to bring the refrigerator level with the side cabinets or cabinet end panels.

4.If you want, you may now use the four leveling bolts to raise the refrigerator to close the gap between the refrigerator top hinge and the cabinet opening. Check that all four rollers still touch the floor and that the cabinet doors above the refrigerator open all the way.
