Kenmore TRIM AND RISER KIT Installation Instructions Manual page 4

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER:
• Remove the plastic top hinge covers and replace with the
supplied silver hinge covers (I).
• Remove the plastic toe grill panels at the bottom of each unit.
Save the four screws as they wilt be used later in the
installation.
• Place a carpenter's level across the top of the door. Using a
tape measure, adjust all four levelers so that each door is
level and to a height of 69-3/8" across top front edge of door.
See Figures 14 and 16.

Figure 14
Place a carpenter's level vertically on the front of the door
and level so that the front surface of door is vertical. Re-
check to make sure top front edge of door is still at a height
of 69-3/8". Adjust as necessary. See Figures 15 and 16.
POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER:
• Connect the ice maker water lines (if so equipped). Refer to
the "CONNECTING ICE MAKER TO WATER SUPPLY" in
the literature bag for proper hook-up of water filter and ice
maker to your household water supply before sliding the units
in place. Plug power cords into their receptacles prior to
pushing unit fully into place. If your receptacle is not centered
in the space, make sure to slide the unit on the side opposite
the receptacle into place first. Slide units into place one at a
time. Slide units carefully to avoid pinching or damaging the
ice maker and water filter hoses on the back of the unit.
• Re-check the level of each unit. Depending on the flatness of
your floor, you may need to readjust several times before
achieving an acceptable state of levelness and alignment.
Allow 3/8" gap between units for center trim (G or H). See
Figure 17.
• In the case of a side-by-side installation of two units, install
the magnetic center trim piece (G or H) in the gap between
both units. The trim piece should be flush with tops of units
and fit just above the toe grill.

leveler clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower. See

Attach metal toe grill (F) using the screws saved during
removal of the plastic grill panel(s). It may help to open door
of each unit to aid alignment of screws. Run screws through
the left-most and right-most grill holes and tighten until slightly
snug. Adjust so the top of toe grill is parallel with the
bottom of both door(s). For a dual unit installation, install
two inner screws. Tighten all screws. See Figure 18.

CARE & CLEANING OF YOUR TRIM KIT:
The trim and grill kit surfaces are best cleaned with a cotton
cloth dampened with a mixture of water and mild detergent.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they wilt mar the surface of
the metal components.
