CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
• Sides 3/4" (19 mm)
• Top 1" (25 mm)
• Back 2" (50 mm)
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS
Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator
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.
