Leveling
To Level The Refrigerator:
While unit is lying on its back, note the
location of the 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.
NOTE
Make sure to allow for the Trim and
Leveling Kit if it is to be installed with
the unit.
