To level the cabinet using the front rollers:  
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the wa-  
ter supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic  
is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the  
potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be respon-  
sible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.  
Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.  
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall  
below freezing.  
No water leaks present at all connections  
Ice Maker is turned ON.  
1 You can raise or lower each door. Use a 3/8 inch socket  
wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).  
To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.  
To lower: turn adjustment screw counterclockwise.  
2 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals  
touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet  
is stable.
