IMPORTANT: To prevent floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.

Lower LevelingLegs

NOTE: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for moving refrigerator and not for permanent support.
