Leveling Instructions
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on
a solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded
freezer.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order
to function properly. If the freezer 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 Freezer:
While unit is lying on its back for wood skid removal, note
the location of the four (4) leg levelers installed at each
corner. These leg levelers will be used to level the freezer
and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter’s level to level
the freezer from front to back and side to side.

Leveling Instructions For Matching Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:
• 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.
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.
• To make the final adjustment, it may be necessary to pull
one of the units out to be able to access the rear levelers.
Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to fine tune the door
alignment. Use a 7/16” socket or wrench to adjust the
screw at the bottom of the lower hinge.
Adjusting Doors For Matching Refrigerator/
Tall Freezer Pair
The doors may also be adjusted side to side with the
slotted hinge for aligning the doors parallel to each other.
Loosen the two bolts with a 3/8” wrench and one screw
with a Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until parallel,
then retighten the screws securely. (See illustration below.)
Lower Hinge Adjustment For Leveling The Doors
Of The Matching Refrigerator/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 inch 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 using a 7/16 inch socket wrench.
