STEP 5 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 83-1/2 to 84-1/2”. The refrigerator
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
STEP 7 SECURE REFRIGERATOR
TO CABINETRY
Whenever possible, perform this step for anti-tip
security, or when anti-tip brackets cannot be used.
The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.
• Raise the grille panel to access case trim.
• Drill hole in trim and drive screw through the trim into
adjacent cabinet.
• Follow the same procedure on the opposite side.

CAUTION:
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”. If the
installation requires more than 84-1/2” 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”, you will damage the front leveling legs and the
rear leveling wheels.
PRUDENCE
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),
l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille
de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également
possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des
placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire.
Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po)
endommage les pattes de nivellement avant
et les roues de nivellement arrière.

STEP 6 ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP
PROCEDURE
The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.
The anti-tip brackets cannot be used on metal wall
studs. Use this Alternate Procedure to secure the
refrigerator against tip-over whenever metal wall
studs are encountered and there is no soffit.
• Raise the grille panel to access case trim.
• Use a 3/16” bit to drill four evenly spaced clearance
holes through the metal top case trim.
• Use a 1/16” bit to drill to pilot holes through the metal
clearance holes and into the wood soffit. The holes
should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4” min. wood
brace. The brace spanning the enclosure must be
securely fastened to cabinets on both sides.
• Install four, 1-1/2” drywall screws into the pilot holes.
Drive screws through case trim
and into adjacent cabinets.
