Level the Refrigerator Drawers
IMPORTANT:
■
Overlay Model—Be sure to install the custom overlay drawer
panels before leveling the refrigerator drawers. See “Install
Custom Overlay Drawer Panels.”
■
Before installing the refrigerator drawers, be sure that the
countertop is level.
■
If the countertop is not level, adjust the refrigerator drawers’
leveling legs until the appliance is square with the countertop.
Be sure to maintain
³⁄₈
" (9.5 mm) minimum gap between the
top of the drawer and the countertop.
1. Open the top drawer and place the level across the top
drawer as shown. Check the level from left to right.
2. Turn the leveling legs (front and back) until the top drawer
measures level from left to right.
3. Remove the level and close the top drawer. Check the gap
between the top of the drawer and the countertop. If the gap
measures less than
³⁄₈
" (9.5 mm) minimum, turn all four
leveling bolts equally to the left to raise the leveling legs (this
will lower the appliance). Recheck the level.
4. Open both drawers less than midway. Place the level on the
side flange beside the drawers as shown. Turn the front
leveling bolts together in order to either raise or lower the
appliance until the sides of the refrigerator drawers are plumb.
5. Remove the level and close the drawers. Recheck the gap
between the top of the drawer and the countertop. If the gap
measures less than
³⁄₈
" (9.5 mm), turn all four leveling bolts
equally to raise the leveling legs (this will lower the appliance).
Recheck the level.
NOTE: Be sure to recheck the horizontal level of the top
drawer.
6. Be sure all four levelers are on the floor and supporting the full
weight of the refrigerator drawers.
