Door Closing
NOTE: You can install either the leveling legs or the casters on
your refrigerator. Shims can be placed under the casters to level
a refrigerator that has casters installed.

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has four leveling legs. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
3. Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the lev eling legs. This
makes it easier to adjust the screws.
4. Open the door again and check to make sure that it closes as
easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the
rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws
the same amount.

IMPORTANT:
■Always lay the refrigerator with hinge facing upward during
the caster installation. If you lay the refrigerator on its back,
you can damage the refrigerator.
■Do not place refrigerator on its top. It may damage the
compressor.
■Allow the refrigerator to sit upright for 4 hours before plugging
into an electrical outlet.
1. Unpack the casters with hardware from the small box.
2. Verify contents.
3. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
4. Remove food and any adjustable shelves from refrigerator.
5. Lay a piece of cardboard or other protective material on the
floor. This will protect the refrigerator from scratches.
6. Using two or more people, place the refrigerator on its side
with the hinge facing upward on top of the cardboard or
protective material. Be sure the door hinge is facing upward.
IMPORTANT: It is important that the door hinge face upward
during the entire caster installation.
7. Attach both locking casters to the refrigerator front. Using the
1³⁄₁₆" wrench, tighten the locking casters.
