Rear View A B C D Leveling and Securing It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work properly.

You may also use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for undercounter installations. Tools Needed Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. ■■ Level ■■ Adjustable wrench NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another person to assist you.
