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.
Kick Plate Removal
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.
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.
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.
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 Tall
Refrigerator/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 screw and bolts
securely. (See illustration below.)
Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the
Doors of the Matching Tall Refrigerator/
Freezer Pair
To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):
1. If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/16" socket wrench. (See
illustration below.)
2. If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/16" socket wrench. (See
illustration below.)
