Installation Information
Leveling The Refrigerator And
Freezer
1. Remove the plastic top hinge covers and replace
with the supplied silver hinge covers (I).
2. Remove the plastic toe grill panels at the bottom of
each unit. Save the four screws as they will be used
later in the installation.
3. 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 2-25 and 2-26).
Figure 2-25.
4. Place a carpenter's level vertically on the front of
the door and level so that the front surface of door
is vertical. Recheck to make sure top front edge
of door is still at a height of 69-3/8". Adjust as
necessary. (See Figures 2-25 and 2-26).
Figure 2-26.
How To Adjust Levelers
1. To adjust the height of the cabinet back, use
an adjustable wrench and turn the leveling bolt
clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower.
(See Figure 2-27).
2. To adjust the height of the cabinet front, turn the
front leg leveler clockwise to raise or
counterclockwise to lower. (See Figure 2-27).
Final Positioning
1. 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.
2. 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 2-28).
3. 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.
4. 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.
