INSTALLATION

Placement

CAUTION

Before moving the unit into position, secure the door/ drawers closed and protect any finished flooring.

Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the opening. The front leveling legs are extended below the front rollers to improve stability during placement. Once the unit is placed in front of the opening, completely retract the front leveling legs to allow the unit to be rolled into position. Front and rear leveling legs can be adjusted from the front once the unit is positioned.

If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.

Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet and roll the unit into position. Verify the anti-tip bracket is properly engaged.

Alignment

LEVELING

Once the unit is in position, height adjustment can be made from the front. Using a Phillips drive, turn clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to lower. Use the lowest torque setting when using a power drill. Do not turn the leveling legs by hand. Refer to the illustration below.

When the unit is properly leveled, door/drawer adjustments are less likely to be necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Level the unit to the floor, not surrounding cabinetry. This could affect the operation of the unit, such as door closing.

WARNING

To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.
