Adjust the Doors

NOTE: If the casters are installed on your convertible refrigerator/ freezer, the leveling screws will not work. Shims can be placed under the casters to level a convertible refrigerator/freezer that has casters installed.

Door Closing

Your convertible refrigerator/freezer has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your convertible refrigerator/ freezer seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the convertible refrigerator/freezer's tilt using the instructions below.

1.Remove the base grille. See Base Grille graphic in “Convertible Refrigerator/Freezer Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the convertible refrigerator/freezer on either side.

2.Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the convertible refrigerator/ freezer or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the convertible refrigerator/freezer.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the convertible refrigerator/freezer takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

5.Place the plastic skids (shipped with the convertible refrigerator/ freezer) on the floor at least 3 ft (91.44 cm) apart. Lay a piece of cardboard or other protective material over the skids.
