2. Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from
left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level
and aligned with the cabinetry. The cabinetry surface must be
plumb for the ideal fit of the refrigerator side trim.
3. Continue adjusting all of the leveling legs to raise the
refrigerator until the top is within at least 1" (2.54 cm) of the
top soffit.
NOTE: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling
legs until the top of the refrigerator is within ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) of
the bottom of the anti-tip board as shown. Do not crush the
compressor cover.

IMPORTANT: Adjust in small increments to keep from
damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with
the door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to
the cabinet or leveling legs, do not apply more than
50 inch-pounds (5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts.
The leveling legs can be extended to a maximum of 1¹⁄₄"
(3.18 cm) below the rollers.
