Level and Align Refrigerator
IMPORTANT:
All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for
moving the refrigerator, not for permanent support.
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1.
Use a 5/16" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise
to extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be
off the floor.
2.
Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from
left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level
and aligned with the cabinetry. The cabinetry surface must be
plumb for the ideal fit of the refrigerator side trim.
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
1¹⁄
4
" (3.18 cm) below the rollers.

2.

with a 3/8" open end wrench.
