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. Adjust the plastic 

leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that 

the door closes easily when left halfway open.

To remove the kick plate, use a Phillips head 

screwdriver and remove the two screws 

holding the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull 

the kick plate away from the unit.

The refrigerator must have all bottom corners 

resting firmly on a solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support a 

fully loaded refrigerator.  
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrigerator 

to be level in order to function properly. 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.

•  Level door of first unit using all four 

levelers and slide unit into place. 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. 

•  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.

Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to fine tune 

the door height and for final cabinet spacing.

doors parallel to each other. Loosen the two 

bolts with a ⅜” wrench and one screw with 

a Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until 

parallel, then retighten the screw and bolts 

securely. (See illustration below.)
Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling 

Freezer Pair
To level the doors using the adjustable lower 

hinge (some models):

1. If the refrigerator door is lower than the 

freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by 

turning the adjustment screw clockwise 

using a 7/16” socket wrench.  

(See illustration below.)

2. If the freezer door is lower than the 

refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by 

turning the adjustment screw clockwise
