STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16
”
hex
nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to
raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4
”
open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation
cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2
”
. The refrigerator
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
ATTENTION
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),
l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille
de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également
possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des
placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire.
Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po)
endommage les pattes de nivellement avant
et les roues de nivellement arrière.
CAUTION
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1
”
. If the
installation requires more than 84-1/2
”
height, the
installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet
of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be
added across the top of the opening to shorten the
opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more
than 1
”
, you will damage the front leveling legs and the
rear leveling wheels.
Installation Instructions
STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner of
the unit in the access compartment. Look through the
access compartment to make sure the rod lines up
with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod.
Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end
of the rod.
• Rotate and move the
“L” rod into the slot in
the anti-tip bracket tab.
Once it is in the slot,
rotate the “L” rod so the
hook portion is pointing
down. The holes at the
front end of the rod
should be in a vertical
position.
• Pull out on the end of
the rod to make sure it is secure in the bracket.
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit. A
hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure
the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a
snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a time
until the pin will fit tightly into the hole.
• Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from
the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until it snaps
into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The hair pin
cotter must be vertical when this step is completed to
ensure the “L” rod is engaged in the bracket.
• Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward. If the
rod moves, remove the hair pin cotter and place
another washer on the rod. Reinsert the pin.
