Level and Align Refrigerator

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not
completely installed.
Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is
completely installed.
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for
moving refrigerator and not for permanent support.
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to
extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off
the floor.

refrigerator until the top is within at least ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) of the
top soffit as shown.
NOTE: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling
legs until the top of the refrigerator is making contact with the
bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor

IMPORTANT: Adjust in small increments to keep from
damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with the
door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to the cabinet
or leveling legs, do not apply more than 50 inch-pounds
(5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts. The leveling legs can
be extended to a maximum of 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) below the rollers.
4. After leveling the refrigerator, use a straight edge or 4 foot
level going across the front of the refrigerator installation to
the cabinets to check that the refrigerator is still flush.
