CAUTION 

To prevent appliance damage and/or personal injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any two of its 
casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the splash back

.

 

WARNING 

This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer. 

WARNING 

DO NOT perform leveling procedure when appliance is in operation or full of hot liquids. Serious 
injury could result. 

When you receive your appliance, it is completely assembled with the possible exception of legs or 
optional casters and heat deflector. 

 This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it cannot be curb mounted, or sealed to a base. 
Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this appliance’s ability to effect proper component ventilation. The 
supplied legs or casters provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure 
adequate air supply for electrical component ventilation. To level the appliance, use the following 
procedure. 

Required tools: Large pair of water pump pliers, Medium flat blade screwdriver, level 12” (30.5 cm) long 

max. 

1  Position appliance in final installed location. 

2  Apply level across front, and then the left and right side of unit, determine lowest point, and distance to 

level. 

3  Add the distance determined in step 2 to caster or leg on the lowest corner of appliance. 

1.  Swivel casters- loosen 2 set screws (A) 

2.  Legs and swivel casters-. Adjust the height of the leg / caster by turning adjustment collar/ foot (B) 

with water pump pliers until desired change in height is achieved. 

Swivel casters only: Retighten set screws (A). 

3.  Fixed casters- Adjust height by moving wheel and axle to alternate holes (D) in wheel bracket 

higher or lower as needed.  Refer to “FIXED” type caster in Figure 3.  

4  Adjust remaining casters or legs as needed to ensure the appliance is supported evenly at each 

caster/leg contact point.
