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
