LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
To Level The Refrigerator:
While unit is lying on its back for wood skid removal,
note the location of the four (4) leg levelers installed at
each corner. These leg levelers will be used to level the
refrigerator and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter’s
level to level the refrigerator from front to back and side
to side.
Leveling Instructions For Matching
Refrigerator / Freezer Pair:
• Level door of fi rst unit using all four levelers and slide
unit into place. Recheck for levelness and adjust if
necessary.
• Measure distance from fl oor to bottom of door on
fi rst unit. Adjust and level second unit so door height
matches.
• Leg Level Adjustments:
• One full turn of all four leg levelers will raise door
5/32”.
• Slide second unit into place leaving a minimum
gap of 3/16” between units for door swing clearance.
• This last step may require at least one extraction of
the second unit to properly align units in a “built-in”
application.
Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to fi ne tune the door
height and for fi nal cabinet spacing. Use a 7/16” socket
or wrench to adjust the screw at the bottom of the lower
hinge.
Adjusting Doors For Matching
Refrigerator / Tall Freezer Pair
The doors may also be adjusted side to side with the
slotted hinge for aligning the doors parallel to each other.
Loosen the two bolts with a 3/8” wrench and one screw
with a Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until parallel,
then retighten the screws securely. (See illustration
below.)
