To Level the Appliance:
While unit is laying on its back, note the location

of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner.

These leg levelers will be used to level the unit

and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter’s level

to level the appliance from front to back and side

to side. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front,

½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily

when left halfway open.

INSTALLATION

NOTE

All set screws should be tightened and sub-

flush (Allen set screw should be seated just

below the surface of the end cap) of handle

end cap. The end caps should be drawn tight

to door with no gaps.

2. Position handle end caps over upper and

lower pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) that

are fastened into door, ensuring the holes

for the set screws are facing towards the

outside of door if a single unit installation

or the refrigerator door (if installing the

matching refrigerator).

3. While holding handle firmly against door,

fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B)

with supplied Allen wrench.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install handle (if

installing the matching refrigerator). Ensure

the holes for the set screws are facing

towards the refrigerator door.

Leveling Instructions for Matching Tall

Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:

• Level door of first unit using all four levelers

and slide unit into place. Recheck for

levelness and adjust if necessary.

• Measure distance from floor to bottom of

door on first 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.

Kick Plate Removal

To remove the kick plate, use a Phillips head

screwdriver and remove the two screws holding

the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull the kick

plate away from the unit.

Leveling

Rest all bottom corners firmly on a solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support a

fully loaded appliance.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level

in order to function properly. If the appliance is

not leveled during installation, the door may be

misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing

cooling, frost or moisture problems.
