supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported
by adjustable wheels. Both are accessible from
the front of the refrigerator.
, To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16"
hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn
clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
refrigerator.

CAUTION:
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. Make adjustments
in small increments.
