STEP 7 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 84-1/2”
(214.63 cm). The refrigerator
should be level and plumb
with cabinetry.
NOTICE: 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 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”
(2.54 cm), you will damage the front leveling legs
and the rear leveling wheels. Make adjustments in
small increments.
