Level and Align Refrigerator

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not
completely installed.
Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is
completely installed.
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for
moving the refrigerator, not for permanent support.
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to
extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off
the floor.

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 cabinets.
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 a cross 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
1. In the custom made (1" x width of grille panel) wood filler
¹¹⁄₁₆
piece, drill a hole
NOTE: Make sure the hole is centered in the 1" thickness of
the wood piece.
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),
attach the "L" brackets to the top grille mounting plates.
