ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS

Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.

Leveling Legs near each front corner of the refrigerator, next to the rollers, should be adjusted if any of the following occurs:

Refrigerator wobbles due to front roller not being firmly positioned on the floor.

Door(s) do not close easily when opened to 45°.

NOTE:

BEFORE moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be sure to turn the leveling legs counterclockwise so that the weight of the refrigerator is fully transferred to the front rollers.

The refrigerator will not be level from front to back. It will have a slight backward tilt for proper door-closing.

To adjust the leveling legs, turn the two front leveling legs clockwise to raise the front of the refrigerator and counterclockwise to lower it.

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
