3. Continue adjusting the leveling legs until the top of the
refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the solid soffit,
or the bottom of the anti-tip boards, if anti-tip boards were
used. 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.

4. After leveling the refrigerator, again use a straight edge or 4-ft
level across the front of the refrigerator installation blocks to the
cabinets to check that the refrigerator is still flush.
Install Refrigerator and Panels
IMPORTANT: Jenn-Air is not responsible for the removal or
addition of molding or wood overlay panels that would not allow
access to the refrigerator for service.
Install Top Grille Filler (standard installation only)
IMPORTANT: The grille panel height allows the necessary airflow
for refrigerator performance. The top grille filler hides the upper
compartment cover behind the top grille. If you choose to modify
the recommended grille panel dimensions, performance will be
compromised.
Custom Wood Panel Models

2. Using slotted hex-head screws (provided with refrigerator),
fasten an "L" bracket to each end of the wood filler piece.
3. Using hex-head blunt screws (provided with refrigerator),
