Step 5
Level
Refrigerator
or Freezer
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by wheels.
•Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just barely
touch the 2x4 block.
•Turn the 7/16″ hex nut located above the front
wheels. Turn to raise or lower the refrigerator.
•For front leveling legs, use a 1-1/4″ open-end
wrench.
•Adjust carefully, the refrigerator should be level and
plumb with cabinetry, and align with toekick height.

Secure
Refrigerator
or Freezer
to Sides
When using 1/2″ to 3/4″ side panels, the front flange
of the case trim is attached to the side panel.
• Open door to access case trim.
• Drill hole in trim slightly below the interior opening.
Drive screw through the trim and into the side
panel.
• Follow the same procedure on the opposite side.
If the product is installed between cabinets with no
side panels or in a custom enclosure, install a spacer
block as shown.
NOTE: Whenever possible,
perform this step for
additional anti-tip security.
This step can be used as an
alternate to Step 4, Anti-Tip
bracket installation, whenever
brackets cannot be used.

•Locate and bring tubing to the front of the cabinet.
•Turn the water on to flush debris from line. Run
about a quart of water through tubing into a
bucket, then shut-off water.

of the copper tubing. Insert tube into the union
fitting on the unit and tighten nut to union.
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.

Tubing:
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection. Tighten the compression
nut until it is just hand tight.
• Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening can cause leaks!
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
CAUTION
PRUDENCE
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling
legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment
of 1″. If the installation requires more than
84-1/2″ height, the installer should elevate the
refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners.
Cabinetry trim could also be added across the
top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you
attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1″,
you will damage the front leveling legs and the
rear leveling wheels.
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes
de nivellement avant permettent un réglage
maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour
le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure
à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever
le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué
ou des glissières. Il est également possible
d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards
sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire.
Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po)
endommage les pattes de nivellement avant
et les roues de nivellement arrière.
NOTE: Make sure excess tubing length does not
interfere with toekick installation.
