If the refrigerator 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 Refrigerator: While unit is lying on its back, note the location of the four (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.

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.
