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.
