To Level the Refrigerator:
While unit is lying on its back, 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. 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 refrigerator door with no gaps.

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

The refrigerator must have all bottom corners

resting firmly on a solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support a

fully loaded refrigerator.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrigerator to be

level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator

is not leveled during installation, the door may be

misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing

cooling, frost or moisture problems.

Leveling Instructions for Matching

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.

Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to fine tune the

door height and for final 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 /
