Leveling the Ice Maker It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the four rolling casters on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the casters until the ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine. You will find that the casters make it easy for one perso
