Move the ice maker to its final location.
NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the final location.
Place the level on top of the product to see if the ice maker is
level from front to back and side to side.
Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.
Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as
follows:
• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
ice maker.
• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the
leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.
6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the
legs.
7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even
from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not
level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the
"Connect Water Supply" section.
