NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the 

door hinge side against a wall, you may 

have to allow additional space for the 

handle so the door can be opened wider.

Guidelines for final positioning of  

your refrigerator:

•  All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest 

firmly on the floor.

•  The cabinet should be level at the 

front and rear.

•  The sides should tilt 

¼

" (6 mm) from 

front to back (to ensure that doors 

close and seal properly).

•  Doors should align with each other 

and be level.

INSTALLATION

To level the cabinet using the front 

leveling feet:

•  Lower the leveling feet on each side 

clockwise until they contact the floor. 

Lower

Raise

•  Use the leveling feet (located on the 

front) ensure that all 4 corners of the 

unit are resting firmly on a solid floor. 

Turn the leveling feet clockwise to 

retract the feet and counterclockwise 

to extend the feet. Ensure the floor 

is strong enough to support a fully 

loaded unit.
