3. Continue adjusting all of the leveling legs to raise the
refrigerator until the top is within at least 1" (2.54 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
¹⁄₄
" (6.35 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
(5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts. The leveling legs can
be extended to a maximum of 1
¹⁄₄
" (3.18 cm) below the rollers.

Door Height Adjustment
Use the following steps to adjust the door height, up or down,
after the doors have been leveled.
1. Open the freezer or refrigerator door and locate the bottom
hinge.
2. Remove the door stop screw from the bottom side of the
hinge with a
³⁄₈
" open end wrench.
3. Remove the locking plate as shown.
4. Using a
¹⁄₂
" open end wrench, turn the bushing located
underneath the bottom of the hinge.
■
Turn the bushing to the left to lower the door.
■
Turn the bushing to the right to raise the door.
5. After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they are even
across the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue
to turn the bushing to adjust the door height.
6. Replace the locking plate.
7. Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking plate
screw holes.
8. Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.
9. Recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and even.

Height Adjustment” earlier in this section.
2. Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.
3. Replace the door stop screw or screws in the bottom hinge
