Installation Instructions - Standard Installation
 STEP 5  LEVEL UNIT
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is support-
ed by leveling legs; the rear is supported by adjustable 
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the unit.
• To level the back of the unit, turn the 7/16” hex nut 
located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise  
to raise or counterclockwise to lower the unit.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4” open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of unit to match installation cutout 
opening 84-1/2” 
(214.63 cm)
. The unit should be 
level and plumb with cabinetry.
 STEP 6  SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The “L” rods can be found in the upper left and right 
corners of the unit in the access compartment. Look 
through the access compartment to make sure the 
rods line up with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter per 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. Do this 
to both sides.
• 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. 
• Replace the grille panel.
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are 
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”  
(2.54 cm). If the installation requires more than 
84-1/2” 
(214.63 cm)
 height, the installer should elevate 
the unit 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 unit more than 1” (2.54 cm), you will damage the 
front leveling legs and the rear leveling wheels.
