Leveling Make Sure It’s level.

Your

refrigerator

is on

rollers;

the

two

front

ones

are

adjustable

for

leveling.

Remove

the

base

grill

to

uncover

the

leveling

screws,

With

a

screwdriver,

turn

each

screw

to the

right

to

raise

the

front.

Turn them

to the

left

to

lower

the

front.

(If

you

have

someone

tilt the

top

of

the

refrigerator

back

while

turning,

it will

be

easier.)

Keep

adjusting

one

or

the

other

until

the

refrigerator

won’t

rock.

Then

raise

or

lower

both

by

the

same

number

of

turns

until

the

refrig-

erator

is level

(use

a

level

to

check

this).

If you

don’t have

a level,

the

refrigerator

will

be

about

right

when

you can

open

the

doors

part

way

and

they

will

stay

where

you

put them.
