CLEARANCES
Allow a 2" (50mm) back clearance for ease of
installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and
electrical connections.
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS
Leveling legs near each front corner of the
refrigerator are adjustable. They firmly position the
refrigerator and prevent it from moving when the
doors are opened. Leveling legs should be set so
the front of the refrigerator is raised just enough that
the doors close easily when opened about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move
the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight
of the refrigerator is transferred from them to the
rollers. After rolling the refrigerator back into place,
turn the legs clockwise until the legs again bear the
weight of the refrigerator.
