WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not 

completely installed. 
Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is 

completely installed.
Use two or more people to move and install 

refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

3.  Continue adjusting all of the leveling legs to raise the 

refrigerator until the top is within at least 1” (2.5 cm) of the top 

soffit.

NOTE

: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling 

legs until the top of the refrigerator is within ¼” (6.4 mm) of 

the bottom of the anti-tip board as shown. Do not crush the 

compressor cover.

IMPORTANT

: Adjust in small increments to keep from 

damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with the 

door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to the cabinet 

or leveling legs, do not apply more than 50 inch-pounds (5.7 

Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts. The leveling legs can be 

extended to a maximum of 1¼” (3.2 cm) below the rollers.

Level and Align Refrigerator

IMPORTANT

: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to 

support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator. The rollers 

are for moving the refrigerator and not for permanent support. 

After moving the refrigerator to its final location:

1.  Use a 

5

16

” socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to 

extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off 

the floor.

2.  Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from 

left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level 

and aligned with the cabinetry. The cabinetry surface must be 

plumb for the ideal fit of the refrigerator side trim.
